Re: Weird problem with AFP and PDF generation

I'm working on a customer project involving PDF generation via AFP. It's a
reworking of an earlier version that used RPG O-specs in a flat SCS print
file, and an overlay.

I created a PAGSEG, and dropped it into the print file. According to the
PDF size, it's in there, but if you open the PDF, it's not visible.

I considered the possibility that I was somehow putting it off the page,
and so I changed the PAGSEG statement to

PAGSEG(FOOBAR/FOOTER 1 1)

I considered the possibility that the page segment source was bad, and so
I stuck a known-good page segment source file (from another customer) on
the system, and created the page segment from that. Same results.

I also tried adding the overlay from the older version to the OVRPRTF.
Same result, even though the overlay still works fine with the old version.

Both customers are on V7R1.

CRTPF paramters for this print file are
Printer device type . . . . . . DEVTYPE > *AFPDS
Length--lines per page . . . . > 8.5
Width--positions per line . . > 11
Measurement method . . . . . . > *UOM

The OVRPRTF statement is

OVRPRTF FILE(WTQUOTE) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) PAGESIZE(8.5 +
11 *UOM) PRTTXT(*BLANK) UOM(*INCH) +
TOSTMF(&PDFPATH) WSCST(*PDF) +
OVRSCOPE(*CALLLVL)

For comparison, the OVRPRTF statement at the other customer whose page
segments work is

OVRPRTF FILE(WTQUOTE) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) PAGESIZE(11 +
8.5 *UOM) LPI(8) PRTTXT(*BLANK) +
UOM(*INCH) TOSTMF(&PDFPATH) WSCST(*PDF) +
SECURE(*YES) OVRSCOPE(*CALLLVL)

I'm at wits end on this one.
