Re: AFPDS to PDF conversion problems

Is there a way to do this and still keep the printed copy with the original 
output?
 
Thanks,

It may have to do with where 0,0 is located. I don't think it's in the exact
upper left corner when printing as IBM specifies a non-printable border. You
may need to shrink your output.

having a problem matching the IBM font to a more standard font.

Steven,
The document *prints* just fine.
The problem is converting to a PDF.

I do not know if the font is the problem or something else.

The print file specifies a CPI of 13.3 and LPI of 6.

If I remember correctly, this 13.3 CPI font is copyrighted by IBM. It
often gives different results when printed on a competitor's IPDS printer.

I'd suggest avoiding this CPI and use a standard size, and see if that
gives a more consistent result.

AFPDS to PDF conversion problems






I am attempting to create a PDF file from an AFPDS spool file htat
contains an overlay.
The document prints fine on the actual printer, but when I convert it to a

PDF, I have problems.
The text is offset down 1 line and right 3 positions when I view the PDF
file.
The offset in the printer file is 0,0.
I have tried the IBM Print Services product as well as other products
available and get the same problem.
Also, for some documents, the overlay is rotated to Landscape on the PDF
although it prints in Portrait on the printer.
The print file specifies a CPI of 13.3 and LPI of 6.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff Young
