RE: WSCST(*PDF) and BACKOVL

If you're spooling them with Host Print Transform or Ghostscript you'll need to figure out how to inject a duplex sequence into the print stream. Not an easy feat in my experience.

In our case if you print a PDF with our APIs we handle the duplex switches by interfacing directly to a Windows print driver and then either printing directly to the printer or re-spooling the RAW USERASCII data back into an outq for inline printing with other print jobs.

If you're interested in trying out our software at some point:

Tell the sales team you're needing to print PDF documents from the IBM i and they will set you up with a demo of iForms which has PDF printing capabilities.

Yes, the problem is I create the PDF as two pages long, when I convert it
back to *USERASCII and print it I get two pages.

QSYSPRT is set as DUPLEX(*YES)

Thanks for the reply. My final printer file is *USERASCII, if I setup
DUPLEX(*YES) it prints two pages.
