number, for the mail tag. Now you can use the PDF mapping program to interpret

 

mail tags, specify the subject text, and add a customized message to the

 

beginning of each e-mail. If you use an SMTP mail server to send the e-mail, you

 

can also specify a file to be used in the body of the e-mail, add carbon copy (cc)

 

and blind carbon copy (bcc) recipients, specify an address for the recipient to

 

reply to, and add attachments.

v Use fonts from your Mac when transforming PostScript data to AFP:

 

With Infoprint Manager for Windows® or Infoprint Manager for AIX® along with

 

Infoprint Server Font Downloader, you can upload DBCS fonts from your Mac to

 

the iSeries. You can then use these fonts with the PostScript to AFP transform.

v

Transform enhancements:

 

The PDF, PCL, and PostScript to AFP transforms that are shipped with Infoprint

 

Server 5.2 have been enhanced for better performance. The PCL to AFP

 

transform now supports PCL 6.

v Indexing for PDF files:

 

When transforming a file to PDF, Infoprint Server can now place index tags at

 

group boundaries and return one PDF file. This lets you easily navigate the file

 

when viewing it on your workstation.

v

Smaller PDF files:

 

Infoprint Server 5.2 lets you generate a PDF file without the fonts embedded.

 

This lets you produce smaller PDF files.

v Enhancements to Create AFP Data:

 

Easier file management: Create AFP Data (CRTAFPDTA) now lets you tell

 

Infoprint Server to delete the output stream files after it merges them together.

 

Two new parameters make it easier to identify the input file.

v Interactive access to PDF and e-mail functions

 

Infoprint Server for iSeries, together with iSeries Access 5.2, lets you use the

 

fully graphical iSeries command interface to run PDF and e-mail functions

 

interactively. Send output by e-mail in one step. Write single or multiple output

 

files to the integrated file system.

v Support printing with new iSeries Web Access

 

Infoprint Server for iSeries, when installed with iSeries Access, enables direct

 

PDF printing from your browser.

Benefits of Using Infoprint Server

Users and applications in the typical iSeries enterprise environment can take full advantage of Infoprint Server’s many benefits, including:

Create Electronic Output

 

In order to stay competitive, companies need to cut costs and decrease cycle time

 

by creating electronic output instead of all paper creation and distribution. The PDF

 

subsystem component of Infoprint Server lets you create PDF output from any file

 

that can be input to PSF for OS/400. The PDF file can be e-mailed to one or more

 

recipients, stored for later use on the Web, stored for archival purposes, or sent to

 

a PDF printer.

The PDF subsystem can also add indexing tags to logically divide a document into

sub-documents such as customer statements, or physically divide a document into

separate files. A logically divided file is easily navigated with a viewer. If the
