The IPDS to PDF Transform function of IBM Infoprint Server for iSeries. One or more PDF files are generated from an Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS), Advanced Function Presentation (AFP), or SNA character string (SCS) spooled file and then sent as e-mail, spooled for printing, or stored in the integrated file system as a stream file. A mapping programme can be used to implement intelligent routing of the PDF subsystem output. See also intelligent routing, mapping program, mapping object.
