If your shop is using IBM's Infoprint Services there is an add-on for that to convert APF (Line Print) to PDF. However it's outrageously expensive, $550 per month was the quote IBM gave us for just the add-on. We went with the TXT2PDF/XMITIP products, and are now looking at pushing the PDF work off to a PC that the mainframe can access or control, because we charge for Mainframe CPU usage.

We have an application which requires its report be generated as a pdf file. Currently, this is being accomplished by a java application running in WebSphere Application Server for z/OS. The customer is not happy with the length of time it takes to create the report. I have suggested that the report should be generated via COBOL in batch. Can a PDF version of this report be created using COBOL?
