Spooled files to PDF... who would have ever thought that would be a good
idea? ;) Welcome back to the late 90s.

You do not need to convert, just send your spool file to the IFS, If I
remember well it can be done with ovrprtf

Would it be feasible to just create a spool file programmatically and
convert that to PDF?

Doing a merge is simple with %scanrpl(). Making a PDF from a spool file,
or even directly from RPG, is also simple.

Or, is .DOC(x) a mandatory requirement as well?

and a second question/option - it has been asked what it would take to

put

a win server on the network that generated a word doc in real time, (some
sort of substitution/merge of data to fill out the doc, and passed it

back

to ibm i. No such infrastructure like that exists, this is currently all

on

i, and many hundreds of docs per day.. Need a hands-free simple
solution, and most likely the customer could choose the .pdf or .doc

Creating one page afpds spooled files, then converted to pdf to email

or

download from website.
The fonts have to be typographic.
Problem is there is a limited set of fonts in Adobe Reader, a limited

set

in the IBM font collection,,and appears helvetica and times roman are

on

both, but some customers take doc into Word to edit, and prefer

Microsoft's

default Tahoma. The pdf converter used will support embedding the font

used

in AFPDS - is there a way to install Tahoma on the i?
