Re: Pictures in a report?

Images are done using various AFP objects like overlays and page 
segments. That's one way. I believe that Host Print Transform will take 
care of these things pretty well, with some limitations.

We have a PDF API for RPG that will let you directly create a PDF with 
images and all from your RPG program. If a commercial offering is an 
option, maybe give us a call at 888.rjs.soft toll-free or email 
sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or contact me or Richard directly at that number. 
You also have our emails from this list.

We have some other possible solutions, as well - like PDF converters 
from spooled files, then PDF merge tools. And probably other ways.
