Re: AFPDS PDF scaling?

The "Unit of measure" parameter should be set to *INCH or *INCHES, right
now I don't remember since I am not at my computer. There is another
concept to use that is called *COR for computer-output reduction
somewhere, and then you have to play with the cpi, don't just use 10cpi,
you should try like 12cpi or even 15cpi, and by trial and error you should
get something close to what you want. I know it's not easy, that's what I
recall right now. Sorry to not give a concrete example. Just thought you're
in a hurry. This may help guide you through, but you have to try a few
parameters. There's a big IBM manual for AFP printing that it's not easy to
keep in your brain.

I wonder the same as Justin - the OP said the printed text is
edge-to-edge, if I remember - there is a thing called "unprintable area"
on the edges all around - so if you have 8-1/2x11 portrait with CPI 10,
you can't have text in the 2 or 3 columns on each side, I believe. If
you do, the text will be shifted to the right, to be in the "printable
area" and text on the right will be truncated.

Now I don't know what would be considered "unprintable area" for PDF.
I'm not even sure how the OP got the thing to print in the first place -
and I wish that the first reply would have included the entire original
message, so I could be sure what was said.

Now I do sometimes set PDF printing to reduce it to fit the page - but I
don't know that there is a way to do that in the conversion process on
the i.

Won't that just push the text of the other side of the page?

You have to play with all margins until you get the right proportion of

the

output.
