| PDF Subsystem |
| Infoprint Server lets you use the PDF subsystem to convert any standard format |
| documents and reports on your iSeries to one or more Portable Document Format |
| (PDF) files. |
| The PDF subsystem performs one of these functions with the output: |
v Stores the output as a stream file in the integrated file system. This allows the | |
file to be accessed by the Web, by an application, or accessed by a workstation | |
using NetServer or iSeries Access. | |
| v Prints it on a PDF printer. |
| v Sends it as |
