Re: Problem with SPL2STMF TIFF2PDF - (HPT Api)

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

I apologize, it looks like you're using a different product than I thought.

I'm used to seeing people using giovani's product which has AFPTOOL as an
option.  :)

Does AFPTOOL shift as well?  sometimes the *WSCSTLETTER value for the
MFRTYPMDL helps or fixes it.  Other times it's from font substitution or
invalid printer file definitions.

Printers are a little more "lenient" when it comes to specs than the Host
Print Transform API, so I've seen.

you can see if it's the actual HPT that's messing things up, or the TIFF to
PDF conversion by simply using .tiff as the extension on the file name.  It
will create a TIFF instead of a PDF.  If things look the same, then it's
the HPT API that the issue is with.
