Re: Convert Existing IPDS Spool to PDF

[Richard Schoen <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Technically Infoprint Server and the CPYSPLF *PDF transform functionality should be based on the same code base.

You can write exit points to capture the Infoprint Server output as well. 

I have written integrations to it in the past, but CPYSPLF should work theoretically.
