Re: AS/400 SpoolFile to PDF

Amit,

I've downloaded a tool called 'CVTSPLSTMF' from the 'net some years ago. 
Apparently it was published in NEWS/400 in July 2000:

If you combine this with a tool like SNDM, it can also be emailed 
automagically.

Re: AS/400 SpoolFile to PDF






Hi,

 Thanks to all for the various suggestion provided.

  But I have a query...

  Can't this be possible using a batch job....

  What I mean is...

 Say for example.... A user fires a job.. which generates a report.. I get 

the details of this spooled report ... 
 Is it possible by anychance that I convert this spooled file to PDF by 
writing some code in RPGLE / CLLE.. 
 Or do I need to specifically use some third party tool for the conversion 

to PDF.?

 Secondly,
Once when the PDF is generated.. can it be E-mailed to the resp user using 

a batch pgm.? 

Kindly suggest me..

If there's any sample code available on net .. Can anyone send it..plz


Thanks & regards,
Amit
