Re: Problem with TIFF2PDF command

Gio,

IBM i has supported the ability to directly create PDF files from spool files since V7R1.

See:
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/using-transform-services-generate-pdf-stream-files-instead-spooled-files ;   

and:
    https://blog.easi.net/en/services/ibm-power-systems/ibm-i-spool-files-converteren-naar-pdf-0 ;

On the CPYSPLF command, you can now specify

CPYSPLF ... TOFILE(*STMF) and STMF('/your/IFS/pathname/filename.pdf') WSCST(*PDF)


Can it get any easier than that?


Hope that helps,

Mark S. Waterbury

Hi all

We have migrated to a new IBM i; we use SPL2STMF and then TIFF2PDF cmd to
create PDF from spool. Happend that fro some user, pdf is not created
correct and so is not possibile to pen it with Acrobat.

I have noticed that the .tif is correct created,  buti f i try to create the
PDF from the tif  , with some users PDF is correct with other users PDF is
not correct.

I have checked autorization and User parameters , but they seems ok ..

What could i  check ?

Thanks in advance
