Ya that is kind of where we are at. We use the AFP print driver and
upload with the System i Navigator. It has limitations though, both in
getting it setup to work/export right and in testing. Additionally, we
have issues where it doesn't line up on certain printers *(including a
print to PDF process we have) which I'm not familiar with all of the
specifics on the causes (system admin seems to though :P). We are looking
to upgrade both our IBMi and to move to Windows 10 in the near future,
and management wants to 'modernize' our form creation utilities. IBM
pointed us to a few 3rd party solutions that we aren't really sold on yet.
Thus my inquiry to see where other people are at/going. I had hoped
there was a cool RDi plug-in we were missing that allowed you do something
with the PRTF design view. Oh well.

Hi Shane
Nothing to make overlays - that takes the AFP Drive in Windows to
generate the source.

Really going to have to address this in the near future
Sorry - not much help on your question.

Sadly, IBM appeared to divest All-Things-Printing to Ricoh - including
the AFP Print Driver.

I wonder therefore if there any 3rd-party products that fill the gap -
maybe with an Eclipse/RDi plug-in?
