Installed CoolSpools V6 and now PDF’s are not fitting on the page

In most cases the spooled file is relying on Computer Output Reduction (COR) to fit the data to A4 paper. For example, the spooled file attributes indicate a page size 66 lines at 6 LPI by 210 columns at 10 CPI, i.e. 11 inches by 21 inches, but no doubt you will not actually printing on paper that size: the printer will be scaling the data to fit.

The rules for COR are poorly defined and appear to vary from one printer to another. CoolSpools V6 implements a different set of rules (different font substitutions) by default to CoolSpools V5. In the main, we believe V6 implements the rules defined by IBM more closely than V5 and the majority of customers find that V6's rules work for them whereas V5's did not.

If you were like CoolSpools V6 to use the same COR rules as before, set environment variable CS_PAGRTT_COR_RULES to a value of *OLD by running:

ADDENVVAR
ENVVAR(CS_PAGRTT_COR_RULES)
VALUE(*OLD)
LEVEL(*SYS)

and

ADDENVVAR
ENVVAR(CS_PAGRTT_COR_RULES)
VALUE(*OLD)
LEVEL(*JOB)

The PDF created by V6 with this environment variable set to *OLD is attached, and I think you'll find it's now the same as that created by V5.
