Re: Convert image file

Kent,

Not sure about converting images, but if you want to convert the spooled
file to PDF first, I have a utility built into my SPLTOOL software (
www.bvstools.com/spltool.html) that will allow you to add a image (or
barcode) to an existing PDF in the IFS. Then once that's done you could
print it.

Just another option. Here is more info:

We are trying to print product images on a report. Unfortunately the
images we are trying to print are in PNG format and AFPDS doesn't support
that format.

I was wondering if there are any tools or utilities available that run on
the IBM i that would convert that format?

Another thought is we could take the BASE64 string and create our own
image. I see SQL has a way to convert BASE64 to an image file, but I can't
seem to get it to work. Any working examples or articles that I could view?

We are at 7.2 and updating to 7.4 within a month or so if there is
anything in 7.4 that I could use.

Thanks.
