There are a variety of sysout managers on the market that support PDF. Some of them rely on JCL parameters and others can extract metadata from the SPOOL files. I'm not aware of any that process the actual AFP definitions rather than just the names.
No, you don't need PSF if you're just converting to PDF. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

The Spool file are currently printed on an Infoprint 4000 printer. They use many of the function of PSF, including PAGEDEF's, FORMDEF's, Overlays, Page Segments and various fonts. One option is to use Infoprint Server and AFP Print transform to PDF. Would we still need PSF, even if we don't have a physical printer?
