The PDF subsystem lets you use the indexing information to break a large file into
smaller files, such as customer statements, then store, e-mail, or print the smaller
files.
Print to PDF Printers
When IPDS printers are not required, businesses need access to ASCII printers.
Without Infoprint Server, OS/400 supports printing iSeries output on PCL printers. A
new generation of printers, such as the IBM Infoprint 21, IBM Infoprint 45, and IBM
Infoprint 70 support printing PDF directly. Infoprint Server lets you print to these
printers. This can increase performance over printing to PCL printers because the
PDF output is not converted to an image before printing, while PCL data is.
Hardware Requirements
OS/400 5.2 runs on these iSeries systems:
Model 150
Model 6xx/Sxx
Model 170
Model 7xx
Model 250
Model 8xx
Model 270
The PASE environment requires an AS/400 or
Eserver iSeries model 600 or
higher.
Software Requirements
In order to run Infoprint Server for iSeries, you need OS/400 5.1 or higher. A PSF
for OS/400 license is not required.
To print the PDF output from the PDF subsystem requires Acrobat Reader 5.0. You
can download it free from the Adobe Web site:
The Font Downloader feature of Infoprint Server requires a PC running Infoprint
Manager for Windows (Program Number 5639-N49), DBCS Font Downloader
feature (LCD4-5884-00), or an AIX system running Infoprint Manager for AIX
(Program Number 5765-E42), DBCS Font Downloader feature (LCD4-5884-00).
In order to use the PCL, PDF, or PostScript to AFP transform, you need OS/400 5.1
or higher with the PASE feature installed.
The image transforms (GIF, JPEG, and TIFF to AFP) require a PC running
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Windows NT
®
with service pack 4
installed.
Compatibility
Infoprint Server 5.2 for iSeries is upwardly compatible with Infoprint Server 5.1 for
iSeries.
