Re: Creating PDF

You may want to download PDFSPEC13.pdf from Adobe's website.

Also V5R2 has built in conversion to PDF.

When you decide to generate PDF, make sure 
you are generating PDF files which can be searched
for info.

Lot of software available on iSeries to transform spool files
to PDF documents cannot be searched for information.
Reason being these are graphic images not text documents.

Hope this helps.

=============================





I have two questions
 
1)       Is there an API furnished with OS400 that allows me to convert
an SCS spooled files to PDF
 
2)       Is there an API furnished with OS400 that allows me to create a
PDF file from within an RPG program
 
I would like to convert a spooled file to PDF and put the PDF file on
our server.
I can either convert an existing SCS spooled file or copy the SCS
spooled file into a database file and reprocess it outputting PDF file 
 
I know there are many vendors out there that do this but I am not
interested in purchasing a 3rd party product if I can accomplish the
same thing using OS400 
 
 
Thanks in advance for your suggestions
