Work with PPD provides for the input and update of the CPPD file. The CPPD file contains the instructions for changing a spooled file using the CRTPPD command. This can be found from the Cobwebb Main Menu - Option 1.

The Work with PPD display lists all the PPD files. You can add new PPD file to the list (create), modify, copy and delete entries. Normally these entries would be created automatically by exporting your Cobwebb Design using the Cobwebb Designer.
