Re: [EXTERNAL] CPYSPLF seems to screw up the position of an image

WinSpool (I worked at RJS until 2013 but don't have direct specific 
recall of how it worked) came out before IBM added PDF output to CPYSPLF 
- several years, in fact.So it uses a different process for the 
conversion, hence, the result can be different. Other things that can 
differ due to page margins and printable area and stuff like that.

RJS was acquired by Help Systems some time ago, I don't know if they 
would respond to your questions. There are other solutions that 
converted differently, as well, MMAIL is one that now needs a small 
annual contribution. I think Host Print Transform is involved with MMAIL.

But just generally speaking, different process code can easily have 
different results.

Good luck!
