CVT2PDF, RPGILE
In the CVT2PDF in RPGLE is there a way to change the font output? It appears to be Courier and I have Customers that say when they print out the PDF I send them via email that it doesn't appear very well.

Not a clue..

You’ll probably need to change something the the “PDFHeader” proceedure in maybe the “fonts object” but this is a wild guess on my part.

You could look up the PDF reference info

OK, I have a clue.. maybe…

Down near the end of te program, there is a SELEC structure that determines the font size to use based on the CPI settings in the original spooled file. The CPI setting is retrieved in the calling CL using a call to QUSRSPLA and passed into the RPGLE program as part of a parameter.

So, you could monkey around with the code in the SELEC or change the value of “siCPI” and see what happens with the resulting font size.

I think you will want to keep the default Courier font as it is a monospaced font and well suited to printing reports that have columns of data.
