<p>This topic provides information about IPDS-to-PDF transform support, also
|
||
|
|
called the <span class="bold">PDF subsystem</span>. The PDF subsystem is an IBM® Infoprint® Server for iSeries™ function that lets you generate Portable
|
||
|
|
Document Format (PDF) files or Advanced Function Presentation™ (AFP™) files (for spooling only) from AFP, SNA character string (SCS), or Intelligent Printer Data
|
||
|
|
Stream™ (IPDS™) spooled files. Intelligent routing is then used to route the output
|
||
|
|
file. Intelligent routing is the ability to take the entire spooled file or
|
||
|
|
any segment of the input spooled file and do any combination of these: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Generate a PDF file and send it as an e-mail attachment.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Generate a PDF file and store it as a stream file in the integrated file
|
||
|
|
system.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Generate a PDF file and spool it.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Generate an AFP file and spool it.</li></ul><p class="indatacontent">Intelligent routing is controlled by values in a PSF configuration object
|
||
|
|
and a mapping program.</p>

<div class="notebody">The Print Services Facility™ (PSF) transform interface supports an IPDS-to-PDF transform program
|
||
|
|
that emulates a TCP/IP-connected IPDS 4028, 3812, or Infoprint 40 printer
|
||
|
|
device.
|
||
|
|
<p>An IPDS-to-PDF transform that can be used with PSF is provided in
|
||
|
|
the IBM Infoprint Server for iSeries product. The transform converts IPDS controls and data into PDF files. The output PDF files include text,
|
||
|
|
graphics, and image data, as appropriate. The transform also stores the mail
|
||
|
|
tag in a comment statement in the PDF output. The mail tag is specified in
|
||
|
|
the printer file's USRDFNDTA parameter or the STRPAGGRP Data description specifications
|
||
|
|
(DDS) keyword. For detailed information about the IPDS-to-PDF transform (including
|
||
|
|
the user exit program), see the Infoprint Server for iSeries User's Guide.</p>To use the transform provided in Infoprint Server, PSF is not required.</div><p class="indatacontent">A mapping program is a user exit program specified on the PSF configuration
|
||
|
|
object's PDFMAPPGM parameter. You can do these and more with a mapping program: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Interpret routing tags</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Specify the subject of an e-mail</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Add text to the beginning of an e-mail</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Specify the path to store the PDF stream file</li></ul><p class="indatacontent">If you are using a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server to send
|
||
|
|
the e-mail, it has additional capabilities, such as specifying carbon-copy
|
||
|
|
(cc), blind-carbon-copy (bcc), and return-to e-mail addresses; specifying
|
||
|
|
a file to use as the body of an e-mail; and specifying attachments.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>These topics describe the main ways to access the PDF subsystem and how
|
||
|
|
to specify that a PDF file is sent as e-mail:</p>

<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><a href="rzau6afpman.htm#rzau6afpman">Transform spooled files to PDF without manual
|
||
|
|
setup</a>: For operating systems later than V5R3, this method requires no
|
||
|
|
setup. It is best for simple applications, such as a trial run of a billing
|
||
|
|
application. The input spooled files can only be output in one way, not a
|
||
|
|
combination.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><a href="rzau6ips.htm#rzau6ips">Transform spooled files to PDF with manual setup</a>: This method requires varying levels of setup, depending on the complexity
|
||
|
|
of the required output. This method gives you the most flexibility.</li>
|

|
|
<li><a href="rzau6mail.htm#rzau6mail">Send the PDF file as e-mail</a>: This topic describes how to send
|
||
|

an output PDF file as e-mail. It also describes how to use a mapping program
|

to customize the e-mail.</li></ul>
