RE: Fax/400 and TIFF Question

[Richard Schoen <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No, I was speaking of IBM Fax/400 which only supports AFP as document input.  Nice !! :-)

I don't believe Quadrant supports AFP for their forms product, although I could be wrong.

Had two calls this week from customers who want to continue using IBM Fax/400 but want more modern database driven forms software such as our iForms product. 

In the end we ended up creating our own API to render our forms output to AFP so that it can be printed natively from the iSeries or sent via Fax/400. 

We'll be extending that to our native PDF/TIFF print API's so that any PDF file from the IFS or network can be converted to AFP and then printed natively or faxed with Fax/400.

Is this the quadrant product??  As embedded or as an attachement.  I don't
have the software but do you have acecss to the api.  Would the TIFF/PDF be
in the IFS or DB2 file.
