Dear All ,
I am using RSTXPDF4 to convert a spool request to PDF format , when I execute this program by giving the spool number and dstdevic as Local , its giving the message as " Spool request XXXXX with PDF data created ".
But the problem is when I open this spool request its printing the Junk characters ..!!!
What could be the problem ?
Please give me the solution for this...
Thanks in advance.

Those characters are not junk characters. It is the spool converted to binary format.
I think your spool request has more than 99 pages in it. Then this program will submit the job to background.
And creates an spool for the same.
For this you have to run the program in background. Download it to application server. Then use tranx CG3Y to download it to presentation server.

this is due to Formats , check ur setting for PDF in SCOT ->Settings->devicetypes for format---.check here for PDF and ur script format.

Hi Prem ,
I have checked the tranx SCOT there I have found the following settings..
Output Dev Type USE
format
PCL HPLJIIID Not Yet Used in Node Maintenance
PDF PDF1 Already Used in Node Maintenance
PS POST2 Not Yet Used in Node Maintenance
TXT ASCIIPRI Already Used in Node Maintenance
Is this OK ...or am I need to do any changes in the settings...??
One more thing when I tries to give this PDF1 Dev type in my RSTXPDF4 input parameters its not taking !!!

May be that device type is not maintained in ur system. But i did not get ur requirement correctly. What do you want to do with the spool request created. Because it is giving it in corrrect format only. Because PDF always takes in binary format only.
What do u want form this spool request please do tell me.
The converted spool will always show junk characters only. It starts with %PDF-1 something like this.
