Chapter 3. Understanding the Infoprint Server Components
This chapter describes the Infoprint Server components. It describes how each
component works and lists some of the benefits obtained through the component.
Figure 9 shows the Infoprint Server components and how they fit into your system.
The Infoprint Server components are shaded.
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 e-mail.
