Is there any reason you can't use OVRPRTF TOSTMF('/myfile.pdf') WSCST(*PDF)?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] SYSTOOLS.GENERATE_PDF
I'm trying to use the SQL function GENERATE_PDF with an *AFPDS spooled file
and the resulting PDF is not accurate. I do have the prerequisite option
installed.
The character size is off on bolded characters (too large). It also is
truncating the right hand side of the document.
I've used CVTSPLPDF (part of MMAIL) and it creates a PDF with all the
correct formatting. However, we cannot use this in our product due to the
license.
Is this just a limitation of GENERATE_PDF?
Any other AFPDS to PDF options that are no/low cost whose license allows
embedding in a commercial product?
Brian
