I am currently involved with the development a Windows95/98 application
using Borland's JBuilder. However, I am relatively inexperienced with the
java language and also using pdf files so any help would be greatly
appreciated.  Here is a brief explanation of what we are trying to
accomplish with the application:  First, it should open an existing pdf file
created using Adobe Acrobat and print the file on a 4 by 6 in. card (Adobe
Acrobat does not appear to support these print specifications).  Secondly,
it should create new pdf files from a user's input and then also be able to
print these files.  I have found several java class libraries on the
internet that seem as they could be useful in enabling an application to do
both of these functions.  Am I right in this assumption?  The other approach
that I could take is to have the application write the textfile as if it
were going to the printer and then open that file as a pdf file?  Has anyone
written a similar application using JBuilder?  If so, what approach did you
use and do you have any suggestions/advice you would be willing to share
with me?
