Hi Nathan,

Yes, I have run into a couple of those in my research also, but like you, I
need it to run locally so I don't need a dependency on a remote server that
I don't/can't have a SLA with.

I'm interested in the same type of thing. I recall Scott Klement writing
an article about using a Web service to convert HTML to PDF, but would
prefer something that runs under IBM i, locally.

Subject: [WEB400] RPGCGI - Convert HTML page to PDF

I have a customer that needs to take an auto insurance form that was built
with HTML and convert it to PDF so it can be emailed to the customer after
they write the policy. The HTML is created and now I have been tasked with
converting it to PDF.

The main requirement is that everything must run on the IBMi which means I
am looking for a Java tool to accomplish this most likely. There are a
number of tools out there (both free and commercial) and I am wondering if
others have attempted to do this and what you ended up choosing for a
solution. Here are some of the solutions I am looking at right now:

http://pd4ml.com - very simple API and very inexpensive (around $150 US
dollars)


http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2007/06/26/generating-pdfs-with-flying-saucer-and-itext.html

http://www.allcolor.org/YaHPConverter/


Anybody have suggestions on what I have listed or other suggestions based
on
your experience?
