request info development digiprint

Hi,

Is it possible to use Cocoon to develope an application that enables generation of PostScript or PDF files from a Javabased client?  This file generatet at the client should then be printed out on a colorprinter. 

I am looking for a system and some developers to participate in a prosject that make it possible to produce businesscards, envelopes etc. small prints to be printet on a PostScript printer or digital printer through a web-based system.

Appreshiate any replies, thanks.

regards

kasper

Yes - Apache FOP can be used to create PDF files.

What an interesting idea - fill in a form which generates a XML document,
this is formatted out output as a PDF file which the user prints - cool!
