Thanks all! I thought based on the CDK demo web page that the jchempaint and jmol would talk to each other, but it looks like there is more going on than I thought. I'll look in to the suggestions that I've got. Cheers.

The first is the bond length seems really large in Jmol I'm having
trouble getting the files to look like a ball and stick model.

I may be mistaken, but I believe that jchempaint is saving the atom
positions in the incorrect units.

I believe that jchempaint stores the atom coordinates in pixels. Jmol
(and, I believe, the .mol format) expect the coordinates in angstroms.

The second is the geometry isn't working, the models
come out in a 2d plane,

jchempaint is a 2d drawing package.

is there some trick or script I need to run to get the
geometry right. I haven't been able to figure it out
yet, any help would be much appreciated.

Calculating 3D molecular structure from a 2D representation is a
non-trivial problem.
