We are looking for a method of generating PDF doc's in the following scenario:

A user enters data in a jhtml web form;
The server side Java VM takes the form fields and queries the Oracle DB for extra data;
A PDF document is produced (somehow) and mailed to the original web user;

Platform:

	Oracle v8.1.5
	Solaris 7
	Apache
	Dynamo (Java VM)

The real issue is how to get everything into the PDF file format.

Is there a way to fill in a PDF doc?

	Should I write to a post script file (or some other format) 
	then use some tool to convert to PDF?

All answers, hints, or web (research) links are greatly appreciated.
