I thought ACS would auto-transform the spool to PDF for you ?

If not, CPYSPLF to *PDF should work as long as you all the transformation services licensed programs loaded.

We have to make a change to this spool file, but how can we look at it to determine that the change is good As we are working from home - printing the spool file will be somewhat difficult Is there some way via ACS to view this spool file As always - all responses gratefully accepted
