Andrew Check out mvPDF at www.brianleach.co.uk
This creates PDFs directly from U2 applications, using a number of potential routes: in order of complexity - - Capturing existing spool jobs and render as PDF (quick and simple) - Capture and render exisiting prints against watermark pages created using a WYSISYG page designer (like printing on preprinted stationery) - Merge into a WYSIWYG designed form using either BASIC or dictionary-driven TCL commands - Leverage a very complete BASIC API that allows total control over creating complex documents or to link into existing document processes. The documents also support compression, encryption, security settings etc. There is an evaluation version available for download. By pure coincidence I'm posting a new version today that includes some requested features: support for multiple servers (for a large client), barcode support and improved handling of images. There are some additions to the merge features and some user interface improvements to the designer, so please make sure you are downloading the latest version (1.1).
