PDFs to IFS from Spool File

[CooterBrown]

We use InfoPrint Designer to design and map data to our overlays. I'm particularly talking about Billing or 1099s for this post. We would like to offer these documents on the web for download in PDF format. Currently, our cycle creates these documents, obviously 1 for every client in the case of 1099's, but it comes in one big spool file that references an overlay. How can this spool files be split up and individual PDF's sent to the IFS?

Thanks,
Coot

Splitting them up is easy - when you create them, you just close and reopen the printer file on a customer break, resulting in one spool file per customer. If you have InfoPrint Server installed, you use the CVTSPLSTMF command at that point (via QCMDEXC or maybe a call to a CL) to convert the spool file to a .PDF and then send it off.

There is an example at search400.com:
