    Thanks Brian and David. There is also an example on OpenNTF: http://www.openntf.org/p/XPages%20PDF%20Exporter%20Custom%20Control

  • Great show, Brian and David. Have fun at LS.

  • I’ve posted the code I used  in the demo. Ulrich’s blog (http://www.eknori.de/2011-10-25/xpages-to-pdf-with-itext/) is the basis and I’ve put what I used here https://www.bleedyellow.com/blogs/DominoHerald/entry/notes_in_9_pdfs_from_xpages_part_2?lang=en_us,  including the bit where I send an existing NotesDco over to the XAgent.

    Cheers,
    Brian
