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
