HACPEE to permit 3rd party PDF generator

This is a variant of RFE 149183:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=149183

We think the functionality requested on this new RFE is better than the one we requested in 149183.

HACPEE 2.0 includes Printing Support which converts the txt content into PDF and shows a temporary list of the PDFs generated.

However, the PDF generated is very archaic as it only contains the text of the transaction, and does not permit include our company logo and forms.

We would need HACPEE to be able to do the PDF generation with a 3rd party SW by being able to do these:
-HACPEE needs to be able to pass the text (to be printed) and the Printer LUname to the 3rd party SW for generating the final PDF including our logo and forms
-Then our 3rd party SW would put the PDF in a folder where HACPEE would notice it and would display it in the current existing 'Printer Session' screen, so the user can download the PDF to the workstation.

In other words, we would need the current Printing Support to remain the same, except that the generation of the PDF would be done by a 3rd party SW instead of being generated by HACPEE. This would look like an 'exit' for the PDF generation.
