Convert to PDF

Good Day All,

I am just beginning on the process to convert spool entries to PDF and e-mail.

I already use the convert to PDF to IFS, works fine.

I have set up the PSFCFG Object - below.

I can use I Navigator to select an existing spool file of SCS ( or AFPDS) print type and choose 'convert to PDF'. The process goes smooth but does not print and holds the entry in PDF_EMAIL. I have not found anything that appears useful in the writer job logs. I use the same 'to' email address to send the PDF as I use to send the error msg to. I get the error email, but not the job email.

I have the PSFCFG object set to use an external email server to send mail and when the job fails, it does send me an email, with the correct PDF attached to tell me that "The attached PDF file could not be distributed" ( to the original address). As a side strangeness - The reply address on the error email is qspljob@xxxxxxxxxx.

At least it has a connection to the external email server.

Does this appear to be an error with the PSF CFG object? the print gets converted and attached to the error email and sent to the external email server. Is an error in the PSFCFG causing the writer to stop in the middle of printing and I am seeing the error simply for an incomplete print?

I can move the print entry that got put on hold to the queue for PDF to IFS and it works fine.

I have set the FIDELITY to *CONTENT to allow printing with font substitutions. The job log details the substitutions but does not detail why the PDF did not get sent. Only sent to the error email address.

Any ideas where to look next. - Thanks
