Re: Infoprint Designer and Server

Jim

I've used the Server a little - it is nicely integrated into iSeries Access for the Web and into iSeries Navigator. Of course, the former needs either Websphere App Server or Tomcat. In both cases, you need to set up, I forget, an appropriate DEVD and/or OUTQ.

From the iSeries, setting IP Server up to "print" to PDFs is easy enough, as suggested. But it puts the resulting PDFs into a default location that's buried kinda deep in the IFS. It's documented. But if you want to control where it goes, and have more control, there's a kind of exit program. Once set up, it's probably fine, but that is the rub - you have to do some development.

But it really does email, it really does PDFs, so I think it's a pretty good alternative.

Haven't tried the Designer.

Thanks Vern,
I am having to compete against an IKON copier/printer vendor
who wants to come in with a separate win based print server
to do all these things. I think my real question to Rob & others
is more , "Does InfoPrint do what is says it can do? And how
easy is it to setup & work with?"
