I believe you have to adjust the page size something like below.
PAGESIZE(66 85)
FRONTMGN(.2 .3)
OVRFLW(66)
PAGRTT(0)
I sometimes had to adjust the margin as above or I could lose part of the report on the top and left - probably depends how close to the edge the print was. I see some of my ovrprtf also LPI and CPI but not all. If I remember correctly, some of them took some tinkering to get them to work properly.

Subject: OVRPRTF to PDF
I have several older reports where the print file is AFPDS...
I've been using an old method for a while to create PDFs and have been slowly moving over to using
OVRPRTF FILE(<printfile>) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) TOSTMF(&STMF) WSCST(*PDF)
This works fantastic - the PDFs are much smaller now.
However, some of the reports (when printed to a printer) are landscape. The PDF version looks fine on the screen, but if you attempt to print from Acrobat Reader the file is Portrait (cutting off the right-hand side).
I tried several options on the OVRPRTF command with no luck. Rotating the page 90 degrees is not the answer (its rotated on screen)
Anyone have experience with this?
