RE: Print output with overlays to PDF

I haven't worked with Esend for close to 4 years but I recall that it only handled *SCS spool files at that time.  Sounds like it is just getting the text and dropping the image stuff.

We have two PDF converters at my place now and one handles *IPDS and the other does not.

Not sure if/how the native PDF support in 6.1 and above handles this - I haven't had the opportunity to use it much.  Have you tried that?  If you're on 7.1 or 7.2, the CpySplF command can make a PDF for you.

Have a printer file with a front page overlay. I do not have an AFP
printer locally, and I need to see what the overlay looks like. I tried
opening the spool file from System i Navigator, but am only seeing the text
output from the program that generates the report.

We also have ESEND from Help/Systems, but I'm not intimately familiar with
that. It emailed the report in PDF format to me, but same results as
above. I'll look at the documentation we have for that. But, in case I'm
missing something that isn't tweakable in ESEND, maybe someone can point me
in the right direction / manual.
