RE: CPYSPLF seems to screw up the position of an image

John,

I've seen this too many times... Logo in the upper left?

Unfortunately HP PCL will "fix" things that CPYSPLF won't... the issue is usually related to the 0.25" unprintable area on a laserjet printer.

If you have access to the DDS source, you can likely fix the issue by modifying the location of the pageseg or overlay to begin at 0.25 over and 0.25 down.
Now if you have other AFPDS lines or boxes on the same document, you may need to change those as well.

A PAGSEG(&WRLOGO 0.25 0.25)

In my experience, it's either been the above OR the page size itself. I've seen a large page size mess with CPYSPLF

This is the command we use:

CPYSPLF FILE(INVOICE) TOFILE(*TOSTMF) SPLNBR(*LAST) +
TOSTMF(&STMF) WSCST(*PDF) STMFOPT(*REPLACE)


HTH

Subject: 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?
