Subject: Re: PDF Printer Not Working on 7.3
Jerry
IBM i supports printing directly to a .pdf streamfile in the IFS. For
example:
OVRPRTF FILE(QSYSPRT) +
DEVTYPE(*AFPDS)+
TOSTMF('/home/Jerry/output.pdf') +
WSCST(*PDF)
NOTE: specify the correct printer file name ... depending on the
program or command called, etc.
Then run a command or call a program that prints something, and you
should find a .pdf file in the IFS, rather than in an *OUTQ.
Try that, and see if it is sufficient for your needs...
Hope that helps,
