Do you mean you want to generate the PDF client-side, to get around the
no Java requirement of your client? Just want to understand what your
looking for before I comment :)

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?
Thanks,

It does look cool, but it doesn't look like it would (easily) solve the
problem at hand... this is a stand-alone tool (unless I missed the API
that you can feed a stream to and get a PDF out)... he could write the
HTML to a temp file and shell out to this, then read the file back and
output to the stream, but I think we'd all agree that's on the ugly side
of things :) (and actually, I don't think that would work because its a
JSP generating the HTML, so the stream is formed... AFAIK, you can't say
"erase the stream and start again", from a filter let's say, after the
JSP has rendered, so unless he wants to generate the HTML manually in an
Action, even shelling out I think wouldn't help).
Still, a neat little tool, if I ever have to do mass conversions of
something this could come in handy indeed.

Too bad you don't have $69 USD because http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc looks
promising. Too bad iText doesn't have anything like that yet. Not unless
you switch to assembling the pages in iText then use the PDF Write or HTML
Write off that in the last minute.
