RE: CPYSPLF *PDF - Alignment issues

You already answered you own question. Use our AFP to PDF converter 😊

However if you must use CPYSPLF, you can apparently retrieve the PDF workstation customization object but there's not much good info on the IBM site on how to tweak or modify it.

We were looking at it a few weeks ago but no good guidelines on using the CPYSPLF and maintaining page fidelity.

You could always have a switch on your program to change the overlay whether going to print or to PDF. We've had customers do that in the past with our converter when there was oddness.

subject: CPYSPLF *PDF - Alignment issues

I have an AFPDS spool file with an overlay (full page form). ?I can get everything to align fine for either printing hard copy or for CPYSPLF to *PDF. ?

If the print version is OK, then the PDF version has?all the data pushed down by about 1 line. ?If I move the overlay or the data to compensate, that screws up the hard copy version.

The overlay was created in Word using the generic 600?DPI AFP driver.

Any thoughts/suggestions? ?(Sorry Richard S. ?Not looking for a commercial product <grin>)

7.2 TR5 - current on PTF's (well, not counting I'm waiting for TR6 to be installed...)

Thanks.
