You can take a look at www.xmlmill.comThere is a special section for creating 1 or more PDF’s from a notes-document or a notes view. The product comes with a Domino use cases guide in which 4 use cases for Domino are explained.

I have a product for this, of course not for free. It’s a VB based solution, that reads from requests from a notesdatabase, to convert certain documents to PDF. It so does (by oening the client and printing it out etc…) and also infact does alot of other stuff.

A typical customer case with this product, would be that the customer have an application. When they save documents in this notes database, they want to generate a PDF and attach it as a attachment. This is all handled by this “CAM” (Client Agent Manager).

Let me know if you need more information (use my email found on DZ).

But it sounds like you’re not doing the PDF creation yourself natively in VB, you’re calling something else (probably the PDF printer port installed by Adobe Acrobat, right? Which would require the customer to purchase Acrobat PDF Writer…).

There are free java libraries which create the PDF output natively from scratch without any other dependency…

Here is one that looks nifty: Entreprenerd — The Book about iText

True Thomas.

And - it was created a LONG TIME ago, which is the reason for not using the new technologies. But hey - it works like a sharm…

sells a product called Win2PDF pretty inexpensive and it installs as a printer driver that you can print just about anything in Windows and it will write the output into a PDF file.

I think IntelliPRINTPLUS can do this.

… and possibly without enough control, would be something like www.pdf995.com

The java libs Thomas Gumz talks about sound interesting too.
