RE: RE: RE: IPDS Spool Files in PC App?

We use Spool-a-Matic and it does a great job of converting almost any type of spool file to about anything you want.  We do a lot of AFP/IPDS to PDF using it.  I really like it's Pagerange feature as well.

converting IPDS into PDF (so it is possible . . . . :-)
