Re: I have a requirement to produce PDFs with large print and I am having issues, need help

 Thanks Brad, 
That printer file is defined as AFPDS. The PDFs are actually health care claims denial letters, which, due to HIPPA requirements (at this time) have to be mailed.

 Reggie,

You say you use AFPTOOL.  What is the printer device type of the spooled
files in question?  Because AFPTOOL alone can do the PDF conversion, but
it's a raster PDF.  So you'd need to increase the fonts in the spooled file
itself.

If the spooled file is *SCS (plain text) then SPLTOOL could be used instead
and you could use the SPLPDFCFG (SPLTOOL PDF Configuration) setup to
actually set the size of the document itself, the font size and the
spacing.

Either way the end user has the ability to zoom the PDF to make things
easier to see.
