hello simon, thank you for the response. i reviewed the FOP site and also found a link to something called iText. i am new to this area - so i am still grappling with all of the options and lib's out there. maybe i need to restate my problem statement. Problem statement: given the fact that i am programmatically creating XLS files, using POI, out on the unix file system - how would i then programmatically take each of the generated XLS files and translate them to PDF format? Can POI programmatically read in an XLS file and "save as" a PDF document? Can FOP read in an XLS file and translate it to PDF? Can iText read in an XLS file and translate it to PDF? thank you mark
