Using HTMLDOC From Server-Side Scripts and Programs

To make this work the CGI script or program must send the appropriate HTTP attributes, the required empty line to signify the beginning of the document, and then execute the HTMLDOC program to generate the HTML, PostScript, or PDF file as needed. Since HTMLDOC looks for CGI environment variables when it is run, you must also set the HTMLDOC_NOCGI environment variable to a value of 1 before running HTMLDOC from your CGI script or program.

Another way to generate PDF files from your reports is to use HTMLDOC as a "portal" application. When used as a portal, HTMLDOC automatically retrieves the named document or report from your server and passes a PDF version to the web browser. See the next sections for more information.
