Printing to PDF using OVRPRTF - how to combine portrait and landscape pages in one file

Hi all,

We can create a pdf file easily using:
OVRPRTF FILE(printer-file-name) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS)
TOSTMF('/PDFs/file-name.pdf') WSCST(*PDF)

We have an invoice summary that is in portrait mode. We have an invoice
detail that is in landscape mode. Individually, they each create PDFs fine.

We're now trying to figure out how to get them both in one PDF file.
They both print onto letter-sized paper. The two printer files have
different cpi, lpi, pagesize and pagrtt.

Is it possible to do what we want to do?
Do we try to create one PDF file at the start or try to combine the two
PDFs into one?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Yours truly,

Glenn Gundermann
