I am working on a web application that needs to create form letters with data pulled from a database merged into those letters. The form letters are to appear as one long page in the users browser window. Then when he/she goes to print from the browser, the letters print out one after the other, one page per letter.
I want to create the PDF output in memory by sending the output directly to the client via the servlets output stream. I would rather not write files on the server. One way I am considering doing this is by using an Acrobat form (AcroForm), filling it in once for each record pulled from the database. However, I can only generate one letter at a time when writing directly to the servlets output stream. I want to fill in the form multiple times, sending the output as one continuous stream. I CAN open the Acrobat form, fill it in and save it to a file for each letter and then copy all the files into one file and send it to the user but that is not what I WANT to do. Does anybody know of a way to do what I have described using Acrobat forms? Thanks! Nick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
