Re: Printing a PDF using QSPL?

["Mike Cunningham" <MCUNNING@xxxxxxx>]

I did see that reference and you can tell the Inforprint server PDF
conversion config to respool the PDF file which it does just fine but it
sends a pdf data  stream to the printer attached to the queue and does
not translate it to PCL or whatever the native language of the printer
is. There are some printers on the market (Xerox is one I know of for
sure) that supports PDF translation inside the printer and you can FTP a
PDF file to the printer and it will print it.

I just reviewed the Introduction and Planning Guide for Infoprint
Server 
for iSeries (G544*5774.
It shows using Host Print Transform function to translate ASCII
streams, 
including PDF files, and sending them to non IPDS printers. Are you 
creating PDF files with another product?
