The Add PDF Map Entry (QPQAPME) API inserts an entry into the specified PDF Map object. You can retrieve the current entries by using the Open List of PDF Map Information (QPQOLPM) API.

This API allows you to set up PDF mapping entries for spooled files you want processed after they have been converted to PDF.

There are two types of entries. Segmented and non-segmented. Segmented entries are for spooled files that are divided into multiple PDF files. The division is be based upon the use of the STRPAGGRP DDS keyword and other products such as the AFP™ Toolbox or the Infoprint® Server. For all segmented entries of a spooled file, the input spooled file criteria(format APME0100), all the selection parameters should be the same except the mail tag information. Non-segmented entries are for spooled files that will be converted to one PDF file.

The entry consists of two parts:

For e-mail, you can enter the following additional information:

For stream file, you can enter the following additional information:

For re-spooling PDF file, you can enter the following additional information:

For re-spooling AFPDS file, you can enter the following additional information:

When you request to add an entry to a PDF Map object, the request may not be successful in the following situations:

Required Parameter Group

Returned library name
OUTPUT; CHAR(10)

The name of the library that contains the PDF map object to which the entry was added if it was added successfully. This parameter is not set if the entry was not successfully added. This information helps you identify the specific library used when *LIBL or *CURLIB is specified in the qualified PDF map object name parameter.

Add type
INPUT; BINARY(4)

The type of add to be performed.

Valid values are:

1 Insert with replacement

This value requests to replace the PDF map portion of the entry if the PDF map entry spooled file attributes is already in the PDF map object. If the entry does not exist, it will be added into the PDF map object.

2 Add without replacement

This value requests to add the entry only if the PDF map entry spooled file attributes portion of the entry is not already in PDF map object. If the entry does not exist, it will be added into the PDF map object. If the entry is already in the PDF map object, an error is returned.
