RE: Printing a pdf document from ile/cl

Thanks for the response, but I may have miss-stated my objective

The document I want to print has already been created as a pdf and put into
the ifs. We already have a tool to put it there.

What I would like to do is re-print that pdf, possibly weeks later, but get
my selection data from a program and then pass the proper info to print it
through acrobat or distiller. Or may there is a way to just point it to the
printer it needs to go to, which would be an windows type printer.

Sorry if I confused the issue.

it's not easy... there are several tools on the market (very reasonable
price)
if you have the software product Infoprint Server from ibm you have the
commands.
I use a utility from Gumbo Software. Brad Stone's tool site has another.
If you want to get into java from ile there is some stuff out there.
Be sure you match what kind of spool file with the tools. It makes a huge
difference
if printing *afpds spool files, *ipds spool files, *scs (standard default
spool file).

Is there a way to print an existing pdf document from the ifs using ile or
cl program?



If so, what commands do you use to do that?

. Invoking acrobat to print or something like that?

. could I pass it a page range?



This may be very easy, but I can't seem to find anything that actually tells
me what commands to execute.



Thanks
