It appeared like they added something like that in V5R1. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Klement [mailto:klemscot@klements.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 3:27 PM To: 'midrange-l@midrange.com' Subject: Re: Create PDF file with lines on AS/400 There's an API that can transform AFP documents to PostScript. Then, you could use a utility to transform PostScript to PDF. If you got that working, you could simply use the LINE and BOX DDS keywords. I've been experimenting with this by outputing the postscript to my FreeBSD machine, and then using Ghostscript to transform the PostScript to PDF. I wonder if GS would run on the iSeries under PASE? Has anyone tried that? I wish Host Print Transform would just output to PDF directly. (Or, did they add that in V5R1?)
