Re: IFS Files (type PDF) available on web

Sarah,

Using InfoPrint Server.
I have setup a PSF Config file and created a printer device which uses 
that config and outputs to the specified (sort of) directory on the IFS. I 
set it up to use /PDF directory, but it always creates a subfolder with 
the job name, then one with the user name and then it uses some job ID 
then my splf name and then the date all as the file name. If I could force 
it to always go to a specific directory (without the subfolders) and 
always use the splf name then I would be set.

Dave-  How are you converting the IPS spool file to PDF? Which tool is
doing the conversion?
