PDFlib seems installed correctly and adding "convertible , converting as
pdf" to a simple 4gl report creates a PDF without problems. PDFlib was
compiled from source suing the latest available PDFlib-Lite-7.0.5

pdflib was compiled with --prefix=/usr/local and aubit with
--with-pdf=/usr/local/bin

[aubit@informix1 test]$ env|grep -i pdf
A4GL_PDFTYPE=PDF


[aubit@informix1 ~]$ grep -i pdf .aubit4gl/aubitrc
#Options: PDF, (NOPDF)
A4GL_PDFTYPE=NOPDF
A4GL_PDFTYPE_DETECTED="NOPDF"
WARN_LD_LIBRARY_REASON=" PDF IESQLC Informix-ESQL"



By the error I guess its related to positioning elements on the report. I
can take an existing 4gl report and convert to PDF without problems. The
4gl report is pretty much some PRINTs with a couple formating options like
page length and margins. If I try running the sample (pdf_report.4gl) that
uses more complex formatting I get the error

[aubit@informix1 test]$ ./pdf_report.4ae
START
fatal exception: [1109] PDF_set_text_pos: Floating point parameter 'x' has
bad value 1.8e+18 (maximum 1e+18)
[aubit@informix1 test]$




Did some more testing and managed to identify the problem is in this section


format
first page header
        print column 2.5 inches;
        print image mv_logo AS JPEG SCALED BY 0.25
        skip to 3 inches;
        set font size 16
        print column 2 inches,"Table Dump First Page"


Using any non integer value for the position causes the error. It works
using "print column 2 inches;" and "print column 3 inches;" but will fail
using "print column 2.5 inches;" or even "print column 2.0 inches;"
