CVT2PDF/CVT2HTML Problem

[Newbie_Neil]

Hi all,

I have downloaded the CVT2PDF/CVT2HTML utilities and HTML worked first time, but CVT2PDF produces a pdf file that is not readable by Adobe.

We are using OS400 V5R2. Are there any PTFs required to make it work?

Thanks,
Neil

Re: CVT2PDF/CVT2HTML Problem

did you select *PDF I think if defaults to HTML
I can see from your parameters that this is indeed a HTML document.

Hi Jamie,

Problem solved. It was of our own making when transferring the source!! Doh!!

Thank you for the excellent utilities.

Your welcome Neil ---

I did an interesting thing with it here:

I created an outq called PDFEMAIL, put a dataq on the outq and then used Scott Klement's http://www.scottklement.com/base64/
tools to and send email api to send an email back to the user that put the spooled file into the outq.

I can help you thru this when you get ready... It is heavily used here.
