Yes, I am using it in a product for occasional reports, but mostly for sales documents.
I used to do them in HTML, but the inconsistencies between one browser and another drove me nuts! PDF may not be exactly the same everywhere, but it is a huge improvement. I like the pdf format because I can email, fax or print from within the program and all customers can read it. So far, creating the documents is rather slow (up to 10 seconds/doc), but I am doing this on a Windows network using a batch file. As I get a bit deeper into Java I can probably speed things up, but I'm a complete novice now. The support on this NG is VERY good. The advantage for my client is to be able to email invoices rather than send by mail. In the US, and probably everywhere, postage is becoming a major expense.

How successful has this been. What are the cost savings of this route? thanks Andy -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
