PRTPDF2Q
Purpose: Use the PRTPDF2Q command to print PDF files from a directory on the IFS of your IBMi. The command will convert the PDF into a spool file which is sent to an out queue for printing. The output out queue needs to have a writer attached to the out queue to print the output spool file. The printer used to print the file needs to be able to print PDF directly at the printer. Check your printer specifications to find out if your printer is PDF printing capable. Use the command in a CL, a program, or interactive.
