Question regarding E3/PE and PDF output...

[JasonBuss]

Hi all,

I am trying to devise a solution using the built-in f=convert function
in E3/PE to return a PDF, but to a location on the file system (as
opposed to returning it in a browser window). I tried zip-output=yes,
but it still prompts with a "save as..." dialog. I need a hands-fee
solution for this. Anyone have any ideas or have accomplished this in
the past? I was trying to avoid writing a custom ACL/CCF solution if at
all possible (but of course, if this isn't possible...)

Thanks in advance,

-Jason

Hi Jason,

We have an application that automatically creates xml documents according to the product
configuration that we have sold to a particular customer. This application sends the xml to PE for
composition, and a PDF file is returned. As I understand it, we use the SOAP protocol which exposes
web services that allow the application to pass the xml and processing parameters to PE, and allow
the PE server to return the PDF file.

If you are interested in more detail, I can put you in touch with the developer.
