User’s Manual for InterForm400® 353
G NOTE G
Password protection and/or digital signature of the PDF file requires a purchase of the
PDF security module for InterForm400.
The subject and message is used for the e-mail. The End of line escape character
parameter states which characters are to be interpreted as an end-of-line code in the
message field (used only for e-mails).
Resources that can be used for PDF output
If you want to insert images, you can insert TIFF images (B/W images) converted to PCL5
or BMP images (color images) in the overlay. You can also insert JPEG images from IFS.
But note, that you can only insert JPEG images by inserting &&IMG *COLOR commands
in the merged spool file (see page 392.).
Design elements entered in overlay design e.g. frames, lines, shadings etc. are also
supported for PDF output.
PCL files and can not be used for PDF output (They are ignored if included in the
overlay).
Fonts used in PDF output
When referring to specific type faces which e.g. normally could be printer resident type
faces, the type faces are converted as follows:
Proportional Type faces (fonts) like 52, 4148, 4168, 16602, 24580 and 24607 are printed
as Arial.
Proportional Type faces (fonts) like 5, 4101, 4113, 4197, 16901, 24591, 24623, 24703 and
25093 are printed as Times New Roman.
Courier is used for all fonts with fixed width.
If you want to use other type faces, you have to install the font as a True Type Font (TTF).
See page 289.
IFS directories used by MRGSPLFPDF
When using the MRGSPLFPDF command, a directory called APF3812Mail is created in
IFS. Inside the APF3812Mail directory another 3 directories are created:
APF3812Mail/Log
If you specify SAVE(*YES) in order to save the e-mail, the e-mail will be saved as an
Outlook mail in this directory.
APF3812Mail/MergeLog
In earlier versions of InterForm400
®
a copy of each created PDF file was saved in this
directory. It is a good idea to clean up this directory.
APF3812Mail/OutBox
This directory holds the e-mails, that can not be sent, if e.g. the Mail Server Framework is
not started. This can be started with the command: STRMSF.
APF3812Mail/PDFtemp
Directory for temporary work files used when creating PDF files. Used files are
automatically deleted.
