You use LPR from the AS/400. Remote system: PDFMAILER.ELSTORE.COM Printer Queue: public Destination type: *OTHER Transform SCS to ASCII: *YES Manufacturer and type: *HP5 Addressing the email: You use the 'Destination dependent parameters 'field to specify the -To, -From, -Subject, and -Filename properties. To access Destination dependent parameters, use the F-10 key The destination dependent parameters are specified as follows: -TO=email@domain.com -From=Email@domain.com -Subject=Here+is+your+print+file (**use the + character in the place of spaces***) -FileName=Yourprintfile.pdf I can't send demo copies at this point, because I have to license the pcl conversion technology and I don't have a demo version of that to send at this point. I can send it on a PO or emailed order, with a thirty day moneyback guarantee (we do this on all our software.) The additional features you can test with the live version are the configuration of multiple printqs (although we can set that up for you over the web also), and the default email address per printQ (which we can do over the web also). Obviously the download will be much faster over a direct PC connection than over the internet, particularly from the other side of the world as you are. (Do the electrons flip over as they cross the equator?) We are pricing this at $995 to make it affordable for everybody - we hope it is a no brainer for most AS/400 shops. One copy on one PC can server as a PDFMAILER print to email server for all your users, just set up separate printqs for each of them. It handles lots of download at once. If you run it on a Win/98 PC, I think the OS has a 255 sockets open limit, so you would max out around 100 simultaneous print jobs (I think it is two sockets per print stream, but I didn't write this one so I am not sure.). And if you are PDF printing 1000 pages a day at an average cost of ten cents (US) per page, payback is about two weeks. A lot shorter than that if you are mailing or expressing reports, or handling them in any way. We are also thinking of other things to do with our programmable LP Daemon - like print a report and immediately extract the data using our Nextract product, putting it into a web page, database, XL spreadsheet, XML, etc. And if anyone has other ideas, please email me (privately if you wish, but frankly I like the interplay on this list.) There are other ways to do PDF on the AS/400 - including Infoprint, but you have to do some setup or programming. Then you have to maintain it. This is just an LPR command (although you could do it with CL of course.) Brad Jensen Electronic Storage Corporation PDFMAILER emails your reports - try it for free
