I've chatted with a business partner friend of mine ("Dave") and he's not
impressed with InfoPrint V5R2; he claims the PDF documents are grossly
oversized compared to the documents created by the Gumbo Software product
(he was doing an informal benchmark).  I don't know if it's Dave's InfoPrint
configuration, a software problem, or a "Dave" problem; he's pretty sharp.

It wouldn't be the first time IBM (well, any software developer) has
provided bloatware...

Tony,

You may be referring to the InfoPrint Server product, which is an IBM
Software package for the iSeries.  It became available in V5R1 I
believe.  There are some manuals available in the supplemental manuals
section of the InfoCenter for both V5R1 and V5R2.

Yes, it will generate PDF output and place it in the IFS if that's what
you want.  It is, I believe, an additional-cost package, not a part of
the base OS.

See the page below for the InfoPrint V5R2 Planning manual and User's
Guide.
