This is a weird problem and one that someone can hopefully give a clue on.
We are creating PDF's on the iSeries (OS version A7.1) overriding the printer output to a stream file specifying WSCST(*PDF).
The PDF's appear to be ok, Adobe Acrobat Reader has no problem dealing with them, however trying to import the PDF's into a PIM (Pimberly) there is an error saying that the PDF is invalid.
Running our PDF's through an online validator (the best I have found is https://www.datalogics.com/products/pdf-tools/pdf-checker/), this gives a detailed report where the only error appears to be:
Fonts Results Errors: Uses Base 14 fonts not embedded in document: Courier (1 instance)
I haven't been able to find anything on this and there are no options available on the WCST parameter when you select "*PDF". There are several Workstation Customization Objects, but the description of these doesn't indicate that using a different one would make a difference.
I wondered if anyone else had experienced a similar problem. We are on A7.1 and maybe there is a fix for this on A7.2 or above. We need a hardware upgrade to proceed though.
We do have software that will create PDF's (Catapult) but we are trying to create our PDF's on the iSeries as a preference.
Thanks for any help or advice.
