Yeah I have some afprsc images imbedded in spool files. The new PDF
option should be able to convert any type of *AFPDS spool file. Just be
careful. AFPRSC can be problematic even without converting to PDF.

Brian

have you tried the afprsc option with jpg and/or tiff files,
especially without infoprint server installed.

if this worked it could be way cool to embed variable images from the
ifs in documents like customer invoices. we could attach installation
instructions, service bulletins etc. based on the parts on the
document. The invoice when retrieved from the document management
system would then be a complete image of what was sent to the
customer.

we are currently on v5r4 so can't try it.

thanks

Jim

It works fine. The only complaint I have run into is that the conversion
to PDF can take a considerable amount of time if processing a very large
(hunderds of pages) and very complex spool file. I know that IBM has been
made aware of it. Can't say for sure that there have been fixes for it.

It is very simple to use so I say just try it and see what happens. I
have had no problems with it personally for average reports or documents.
