Re: Convert to PDF

Buddy,

Send a mail to Giovanni Perotti, the site's owner. I have found him very
amiable and supportive the few times I have had problems with the site or
the utilities.

I do go out to easy400.net every year or so just to see if it works.

I try to register - it says I already am. I try the password I have written
down - doesn't work. I fill in the e-mail address to have the password
e-mailed to me - never a response (yes they have the correct e-mail
address). I don't get a response from reporting this issue. It seems like a
bad idea to get an e-mail system from a site that works as well as this one
does regarding email.

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
