I have a HTML link, which opens a .psp page( A .psp webpage is like a .jsp page). This .psp page brings data back in a HTML table, which is in turn returned from an Oracle database.

I have seen this happen a lot on the web, but am not sure how to do it..

What is want to do is, have a view PDF button on the the web report and when they click on that button export all the data that is contained on the webpage into a PDF format in a seperate window. The PDF will have to be generated on the fly.

I am not even sure, what all softwares do i need, if i need one?

I have Acrobat Distiller 5.0 and Adobe Acrobat 5.0 on my machine, if i need any of them?

Also, i want to give them a button that says view in EXCEL, and when they click on this button, it should export all the data into excel.. (The closest i have seen on web is it opens as a CSV(comma seperated value) file)

Any ideas on how to do it?

Thank you.
