RE: [WEB400] Html to PDF utility

["David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kevin,

What is your goal? You can use a utility like PDF995 to print to a
special driver from any Web browser to create a PDF file. The suggestion
to look at iText is good. You can create an overlay with iText (just
like you would with AFP printing) and then write your text to
coordinates. It can be done from RPG using Java calls. In this case, if
you are trying to preserve business logic in a print program that would
indicate a problem and you may want to look at a rewrite.

Yep, I have this utility, I need the form, I also found Brad Stones,
AFPTOOL for form overlays.  I wanted the HTML to PDF however because I
have a web page that could be converted to PDF without a program
rewrite.

I have used a free utility called CPYSPLSTMF.  This utility consists
of
iSeries command, RPGLE and CL programs.  The only drawback to this
utility is that it doesn't handle overlays, but as long as the report
you are trying to convert to a PDF is text only, it works great.  You
can download the source from iseriesnetwork.com or there are other
download sites found using Google and searching for CPYSPLSTMF.
