Of course it must be possible since java is platform independent so you don't even need a platform- it would work in a vacuum, with no battery, or a fake demo phone used in display cases just fine. LOL. There are of course a number of questions you could consider before determining that this is possible or even worthwthile. Cell phones normally have limited resources like CPU power, memory, or IO and everytime you do something you transfer charge through the battery ( it uses power and gets hot). Off hand, this sounds like a situation where the system design could use some thought as PDF can take quite a few resources to generate depending on how complicated it is and you need things like fonts etc. Just displaying PDF on some phones isn't all that easy. Usually porting J2SE to J2ME or C++ variants is not difficult, and there are scripts and code for doing so in many cases, if you take what amounts to a transliteration approach. Making it practical can be another matter. > > > Thanks > ARINDAM > _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy is not the too busy.
