Re: Send PDF to Browser

Hello Jan,

If you generate the PDF file and send it in the same process there isn't
much
performance loss since the IFS file isn't written/paged to disk but resides
in
mainstorage - this is however only my own experience others may have
different
experiences.

In general it takes more time to generate the spool-file that it takes to
send the
IFS file to the browser.

Hello Henrik

I wanted to optimize the performance. But I see, I have to go the

IFS-way.

Thank you very much.

As far as I know you have to store the spool-file in PDF in the IFS

since

you
can't write spool files into a storage address.

But what is the problem? You can just delete it after it is send to the
browser.

Hello

I create a webservice that receives a document-ID as input and shall
deliver a PDF of the document back to the consumer. I generate a

spooled

file of the document and use the attributes wscst(*PDF) and tostmf of

the

printer-file to convert the spooled file to a PDF and store it in the
IFS.
With my program I read the PDF from the IFS, put a appropriate header
before it and use STDOUT to send it to the consumer.

Is there a way to do this without having to store the PDF temporarily

in

the IFS?

Best regards

Jan
