iACS Printer output-Choose text or PDF

IBM iAccess Client Solutions (iACS) has a "Printer Output" feature that allows you to access spooled files. You can configure in your preferences whether to get them as text or as PDF, but there's no easy way to choose on-the-fly.


Use Case:

I almost always want text format. On occasion, I'm dealing with AFP spooled files so I need them as PDF to see the actual document. It would be great to have the ability to right-click on a spooled file and get either text or PDF on-the-fly.

    This feature is already available. The Download... action allows the current preferences (including PDF or text) to be temporarily overridden for the current download.
