Subject: = Web..Java..Oracle..PDF

We are looking for a method of = generating PDF doc's=20 in the following scenario: =

1) A user enters data in a jhtml web = form;=20
2) The server side Java VM takes the = form fields=20 and queries the Oracle DB for extra data;
3) A PDF document is produced (somehow) and mailed to the = original web=20 user;

Platform:=20
        Oracle=20 v8.1.5
        Solaris 7 =
        Apache =
       =20 Dynamo (Java VM)

The real issue is how to get everything = into the=20 PDF file format. 

        Is there=20 a way to fill in a PDF doc?

        Should I=20 write to a post script file (or some other format)=20
        then use some tool to convert to PDF?

All answers, hints, or web (research) = links are=20 greatly appreciated.
