Re: API QwpzHostPrintTransform failed : CPF3CF2 hptopt = 30

¡ Thank you !

I must say that after applying latest V5R3M0 Print group PTFs, some of the
failing convertions (SCS spooled files into PDF on IFS), were fixed, but
others, remained failing.

Who is Rodney ? by the way ? ;)

Any way ... it is true that obtained PDF files are not serarchebles ones by
the freeware tool we are using.

Then ... would you please recommend me and my customer a tool to get a SCS
spooled file converted into a searcheable PDF file? I mean with a simmilar
command as CVTSPLFPDF wich comes with MMAIL freeware utílity.

Thanks in advance.

From my experience, the host print transform API was never really
stable with SCS spooled files.. (thus the reason I sell different
products for different types of spooled files).

If the problem was programmer error, then you'd expect to see it on
AFPDS spooled files as well as SCS spooled files, but I've never seen
one on AFPDS.

I believe I remember talking with IBM and others about this and the end
result was "don't use the HPT API for SCS spooled files". Maybe Rodney
can shed a little more light on this, but as far as my customers go, if
they're converting SCS, I instruct them to use a different tool than for
AFPDS. Not only is it faster, it won't get this error and the PDF will
be text searchable and not a raster image.

away from being near 16 MB.. I Assume that tou meant 16 Megabytes not 16

On the other hand I know that there is a limit for user space ... Do you
kow
if the 16 MB limit is for the resulting IFS intermediate TIF file
created
during the process of converting to PDF, if so, that may be the cause.

Thanks again.

We are getting the following message: API QwpzHostPrintTransform
failed
hptopt = 30
while using the utility CVTSPLFPDF from freeware MMAIL utility.

While generating the intermediate TIFF file from a spool file the
process sends the above message..

It seems to depend of the size of the spool file: short splfs work
right, but larger (130 pages) just generate an incomplete TIFF file
then
the PDF is not generated.

We are running V5R3M0 and latest print group PTFs.

Any Idea?

Thanks in advance.






as I read the documentaion correctly, "Spool files must not be greater
than 16 Mb", that may cause the error.

Kind regards
Michael
