HI
I need to create a complete application in a Lotus script which generates a rich text filed contents as the PDF document . I need some sample codes for generating the Rich text field into PDF.

Subject: PDF creation from rich text
I used a free Java API called iText by Lowagie. In my LotusScript, I got a handle on the document with the rich text field and then passed it to the Java agent to do the conversion processing into a PDF. The calling LotusScript agent has error branching to detect success or failure of the called Java agent.
Can you send more details for your requirements. For example, will the rich text field sometime include attachments? I have done a similar conversion and had to take all of the attachments and create a dynamic table in the PDF as a table of contents that showed the name of the attachment and which page it appears on in the PDF. Next, I appended each attachment to the one consolidated PDF. This can get complicated if you are using attachments. You have to make sure you can access all attachment types (i.e. Excel, Word, SolidWorks, etc) in your program to do the consolidation. On the other hand, you may have simplicity where no attachments are involved.
Subject: RE : Creating a PDF
I have a rich text field in my form with some tables containing values in it. I need to export this table into PDF by preserving the entire format of table. Problem is that i’m unable to get the table inputs as it is. i.e. am able to get only the string values out of it.
