Re: Code 400 designer for *AFPDS print file editing

[jeffw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Ewart
We actually design the layout/pre printed form in Microsoft Word. We then 
print it to special AFP printer (sort of like creating a PDF) then upload 
the file to the IFS and then use a series of command to convert it to either 
a page segment or an overlay. We have do this for years and it works well 
for us. However we still use the STRPDM when doing font changes in the 
printer file. 

I know that you have to install a printer driver from IBM for the AFP on 
your pc, which can be downloaded from the IBM website. If you would like 
more information let me know. Thanks

Jeff Williams
