PDF files are stored to /usr/sap/ SID SYS/global

Question

True or False --> When a PDF file is generated from within SAP the spool file is stored in /usr/sap/<SID>SYS/global
After a recent upgrade to ECC 6 I'm noticing that a large number of SPOOL* files are in the global directory.  Each spool file has 3 components a SPOOL.cfg, SPOOL.xfd and a SPOOL*.ps file .When I examine the spool number using SP01 I see that these jobs all have an output type of PDF. Only files of type PDF appear in the global directory. It does not matter which output device is used. No output device in my system is defined to write to the global directory. Everything is set up to store files to the database.  
My assumption is that the generation of a PDF format requires a temporary storage area to convert the data from the "Device Type" setting for the printer (such as Postscript or HPGL) to the PDF format and that the /usr/sap/<SID>SYS/global directory is used for this purpose.
Is there a parameter setting that allows me to modifiy this "conversion" location?

Answer 1

Assumptions:
---> You are running on Unix - I don't have instructions for Windows, but they would be analogous
---> Your System ID is TX1
---> 2Gb is big enough to hold your Adobe files
1.) Create a 2Gb file system named /AdobeFiles
2.) Create the required directories under this new file system
- For example: /AdobeFiles/300ADSP 
3.) Verify that the user <sid>adm can write to the directory created in step 2
4.) Apply SAP note 1327372
5.) Rename the filesystems that SAP note 1327372 creates
- For example: mv  /usr/sap/TX1/SYS/global/300ADSP   /usr/sap/TX1/SYS/global/300ADSP-ORG
6.) Create a symbolic link for the required directory to the directory created in step 2
- For example: ln   -s   /AdobeFiles/300ADSP  /usr/sap/TX1/SYS/global/300ADSP
7.) Test your link
cd /usr/sap/TX1/SYS/global/300ADSP
touch TestFile
cd /AdobeFiles/300ADSP/TestFile
Your file should have been created in /AdobeFiles/300ADSP
