Hi

Does anyone know of anyway to generate a PDF within an Air application?

I do not want to use a server-side, because the client might not be connected to the Internet. I would imagine that this would be impossible with Air alone, so any other innovative options to get it going client side? I am thinking this can be done with Java, but then my issue there is that I don’t want the client to have to download a huge 60MB Java files just to get that going…

Any other thoughts or has anyone attempted to do this (or something similar) before with Air?

Thanks
