Frank/David- I'm looking at the same sort of idea where an ajax control is desired which will either build out a pdf from xml or build out a pdf from text I have this working fine with FOP from a servlet but the client is *java shy* so I'm looking to package it up and hide the 'gory details' in an Ajax Control BTW: Pretty much have to accomplish without timeouts popups and or windows with free advertisements for the vendor..in other words FREE (Preferrably as some incantation of Ajaxified Jsp or struts Tag) As I dont want to re-invent the wheel so I'll have to ask are there any AJAX controls which accomplish this functionaility?
