I have a product that will convert your tiff to pagseg. Then you can use them with the PAGSEG keyword in an AFP print file. Our main customer for the product is a trucking company who include images of all the delivery receipts for the period with their customer invoices.

have you tried the afprsc option with jpg and/or tiff files, especially without infoprint server installed.
if this worked it could be way cool to embed variable images from the ifs in documents like customer invoices. we could attach installation instructions, service bulletins etc. based on the parts on the document. The invoice when retrieved from the document management system would then be a complete image of what was sent to the customer.
we are currently on v5r4 so can't try it.
thanks
Jim

It works fine. The only complaint I have run into is that the conversion to PDF can take a considerable amount of time if processing a very large (hunderds of pages) and very complex spool file. I know that IBM has been made aware of it. Can't say for sure that there have been fixes for it.
It is very simple to use so I say just try it and see what happens. I have had no problems with it personally for average reports or documents.
