Does WSCST(*PDF) support JPG files?

I received an email from someone with a question about converting a spooled file with an embedded JPG file to PDF.  I believe that this is supported but don't see the problem in his code.  If anyone has any ideas please comment.  Below is the email.


"I am by no means a AFPDS expert so I am doing a lot of trial and error.  We currently have a print file that prints a barcode and that converts to PDF with no problems where I can see the text and the barcode (of course the barcode is just a font).  When I try a test to include a JPG image I don't see the image in the generated PDF file using Acrobat Reader.  So my question is does the current PDF conversion support JPG files?"

CLP code
OVRPRTF    FILE(AFPTSTP) DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) WSCST(*PDF) TOSTMF('/fecginew/pdf/afptst.pdf')            
CALL       PGM(AFPTSTR)                                
 
RPG code
MO = '1234567890';
WRITE RPTD;        
WRITE RPTI;

  2. I had a typo in my last comment, here we go again:

    Just change the last line to be:
    (*PATH *CWD) (*MAPOPT *ST))

    *MAPOPT is to specify how the object should be mapped in the object placement area.
