SPLTOOL allows you to set up custom PDF attributes depending on the attributes of the spooled file being converted to PDF.

Spooled File Attributes
The spooled file attributes correspond to the attributes that can be see using the Work with Spooled File Attributes (WRKSPLFA) command, or option 8 in WRKSPLF.

PDF Document Attributes
The PDF document attributes are what will be used when the closest match to the original spooled file attributes are found. The Width and Length in the above example, and also set up as defaults, represent a document that is either portrait (612x792) or landscape (792x612). You can specify any size you want, but you may have to play with the parameters to get it just right if you don't use on of these two values.

The Top attribute is the starting postion, from the bottom of the document, that the first line will start on. So, if you page is 792 long, a value of 792 will be the top of the page. The greater the number, the closer the page will start from the top margin.The Left attribute is the starting position from the left. The greater the number, the further to the left the page will start from the left margin. With both the Top and Left PDF attributes, experimentation may be required for odd sized reports.

Spacing is the spacing between each line. Font size is the size of the font (which is always Courier). Again, experimentation may be required.
