Re: Creating PDF instead of a spool file

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

James,

Our AFPTOOL (http://www.bvstools.com/afptool.html) will convert AFPDS to
PDF.  I think it may even come bundled as an option for MMAIL for
conversion.

The problem there may be it could be an old version, so we always suggest
downloading from our website.

I'm not sure I understand your last question about structuring a print file
that looks like WRKSPLF (option 5 I am guessing).
