IBM Transform Services for i: PDF/A compliance Merged

Our applications create a large number of PDF documents (now some millions) in the IFS using Infoprint Server. Many of these documents are protected in accordance with the law. Now we want documents to be written on external storage instead of IFS. So we are moving from Infoprint Server to Transform Services for I but Transform Services can't create protected documents: we need Transform Services can create protected PDF documents.


Use Case:

Contract sent by mail to customers.

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a “nice to have” low priority feature.
    The CAAC thinks the number of clients needing this capability is rather low.
    However, since it is a security-related item, the CAAC recommends that IBM address the RFE.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.
