Lotus Notes - Automatically export email to PDF on arrival

Is it possible with Lotus Notes 8.5 to write a program (assuming an Agent) that will automatically export the email as a PDF document where the name of the document will be the subject line of the email?

I am being told by our lovely IT people that this will take months worth of effort to investigate, test and implement.

Surely there is a function that could be called to do this?

Can anyone please point me in the direction of a tutorial or help doc etc that I can read so I can have some more information to speak more authoritatively with our IT guys.

My intention is then to hand this information to the Domino Design team to ask them to build the function (without taking months to do so). :-)

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

There is also advanced support for pdf document naming, single document conversion, batch conversion, document archiving option and even support for automatic upload to document repositories such as MS Sharepoint, Alfresco, Filenet, etc..

There is a third party application called PD4ML which allows you to export to PDF format. They also supply samples on how to do this in the Notes client.

http://www.pd4ml.com/lotus.htm

You would need to create an agent that runs on new mail arriving.

There is also some sample code on SearchDomino.
