Hi Alan another option is doing some tests using one of the transform
objects in qsys (V7R2):

QCTXPDF
QCTXPDFMBD
QCTXPDFMB2
QCTXPDFWT
QCTXPDFWT2
QCTXPDF2

Eg:

CPYSPLF FILE(MYSPOOL)
TOFILE(*TOSTMF)
TOSTMF('/tmp/testpdf.pdf')
WSCST(*LIBL/QCTXPDF2)
STMFOPT(*REPLACE)

Hi everyone
We are on V7r3
I have been asked to look into creating and e-mailing our invoices as
pdf's from the AS/400

I already knew about the changes to CPYSPLF, so I thought that I would
look into that
The command I used was

CPYSPLF FILE(INVOICE) TOFILE(*TOSTMF) JOB(192813/CREDSALE36/JKEITTB)
TOSTMF('/ashore/invoice.pdf') WSCST(*PDF) STMFOPT(*REPLACE)

The INVOICE spool file has an overlay

I then used this command to e-mail it to myself

SNDSMTPEMM RCP(('ashore@xxxxxxxx')) SUBJECT('Sending a pdf file')
ATTACH(('/ashore/invoice.pdf'))

When I received the e-mail, the overlay was there, but the characters
(print) were not where it should be - in the boxes
The characters were "pushed" to the left

I googled CPYSPLF and came across this web page
https://www.rpgpgm.com/2014/03/creating-pdf-files-from-spool-files.html

and I checked the ptf's mentioned
Both of the ptf's mentioned there are on our system
5770TS1 *COMPATIBLE IBM Transform Services for i
5770TS1 *COMPATIBLE Transforms - AFP to PDF Transform

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I did wrong or is missing?
As always, all answers gratefully accepted
