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

John

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!

You will need to fill in some missing information
What process are you using to determine that the logo has "moved"?
You say that you are using CPYSPLF, can you supply the command that you are using
You will need to determine how the logo is being printed - page segment, overlay etc.?

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

Unfortunately, I don't know much about printer files and can't even
tell you how we got the image in there in the first place.

But when we were using an ancient version of RJS WinSpool, the PDFs it
generated had our company logo in the intended position. That's not an
option for us anymore, so I switched us over to CPYSPLF. That seems to
work well for some things, but one issue we're having is that the logo
has moved, to the point where it's obscuring some of the text, not to
mention looking stupid.

How do I find out what's going wrong? Is there any way to fix this?
