Re: Create PDF file with lines on AS/400

[bdietz@xxxxxx]

Ok so I go out to the UCLA AIX software site (
http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/packages/ghostscript.html )
and download the binary for AIX4.3  Ftp it to the 400 gzip -d then tar
-xvf  then chmod +X ( just love those unix commands)
The make a symbolic link to the shell in PASE ln -s /QOpenSys/usr/bin/sh
/bin/sh  so I don't have to change a bunch of shell scripts.

then cranked up the ps2pdf using one of the examples:
ps2pdf /usr/local/share/ghostscript/6.51/examples/golfer.ps
/home/golfer.pdf  and whammo I get a PDF.

Now gotta try the other part of taking a AFP and using the API to make it
a PS.

Kinda cool how much "stuff" works in PASE : )

all done on v5r1 in about 30 minutes including download time

I've been experimenting with this by outputing the postscript to my
FreeBSD machine, and then using Ghostscript to transform the PostScript
to PDF.  I wonder if GS would run on the iSeries under PASE?   Has anyone
tried that?
