I have times when a user will request that a report be emailed to them, rather than printed and sent to them via the inter company mail. The easiest way would be to create a PDF file from the spool file and then email it to the requestor.
There are many third party tools that allow you to be able to convert a spool file to PDF, but how can I do it just using native IBM i features?
The method I am going to describe can only be used IBM i servers with either version 6.1 or 7.1 installed.
