Bummer! That's too bad as addTemplate functionality is greatly needed. I have a meeting scheduled with my security folks to discuss this but I doubt if they want to unsecure a directory on the OS/390. That would mean a hole into the box and anyone that could find it would have an oppurtunity to hack the forms and potentially produce "official" business forms.

The only other way that I can see getting this functionality is to use Apache's XML FOP to dynamically produce the PDF. FOP is a print formatter driven by XSL formatting objects. This technology is not that far along however and FOP seems very tedious.
