I have tried the above for DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.PDF and cannot get
RetepPDF-II when i tried=20
DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.TEXT_PLAIN_US_ASCII I got a prompt to save a
file. What docFlavor do I use?
And IS the source available so I can generate JavaDocs?

Sorry for the delay, I've been snowed under with work this month, and are
only now catching up :(

Ok, two things here, retep pdf can only generate PDF, so INPUT_STREAM.PDF
wouldn't work.

As for INPUT_STREAM.TEXT_PLAIN_US_ASCII, it's prompting for a file as it's
not been told where to send the resulting PDF. You can set the destination
using a javax.print.attribute.standard.Destination attribute to define a UR=
I
of where to send it.

As for the source, it's on sourceforge, or I can send you a slightly more
recent version.
