Thanks Marvin, but since the spool file is in *USERASCII format, it can not
be viewed or copied.

If you're on 6.1, you should be able to change your print file to
generate
the PDF directly into an IFS file (.pdf)...

DEVTYPE *AFPDS
TOSTMF /Export
WSCST *PDF

This would create a system named pdf file in the /Export directory in the
IFS.

Then, a *STMF attachment to the email should suffice.

Subject: Email *USERASCII spool file as PDF attachment

All,
Is there any product for the i that will allow the email of a *USERASCII
spool file as a PDF file?
Since the *USERASCII spool file can not be viewed or copied, my current
email program is not able to do this.

Thanks,

Just to be clear, this is the CPYSPLF command that I have used
successfully to convert a spoolfile into an IFS PDF that I have been able
to email.

CPYSPLF FILE(SPOOLFILE)
TOFILE(*TOSTMF)
TOSTMF('/ifsdirectory/pdffilename.pdf')
WSCST(*PDF)

I am on 7.1 but I think this will work on 6.1.
