When I check for the product, it seems ok..

CHKPRDOPT PRDID(5761TS1) OPTION(01)
All product loads checked are only defined.
No errors detected by CHKPRDOPT.
No errors detected by CHKPRDOPT.

I also read the prerequisites and matched them up against another
box that I know works.
The one that does not work is missing this:

5770TS1 *BASE IBM Transform Services for i
5770TS1 1 Transforms - AFP to PDF Transform

I am assuming that is why I am getting the error above?

Seems a likely origin for the error, that the product and option missing from WRKLICINF are those required by the failing feature.

Please note that although the CHKPRDOPT result suggests "No errors detected", the result [of a prior logged message] also suggests that TS1-01 is not installed on the system where that CL request was issued. The logged diagnostic preceding the completion\indication of "no errors" suggests that the "product loads" of the LPP option are "only defined". Had the option actually been installed versus merely having been defined, then several messages indicating which of the PRDLOD() are properly "installed" [or in error] would have been the expected result. I do not recall if there is a parameter on the CHKPRDOPT that would force a *DEFINED status to end the request with an error; there may be, but apparently not by default.

So... Seems probable that installing TS1-01 would effect resolution; and of course, the TS1-*BASE installed first [if not already], to allow the TS1-01 to install. The following article seems to confirm:

http://systeminetwork.com/article/generate-pdf-files-using-only-i-61-0
"Before you can generate PDF files with IBM i 6.1, there are a few prerequisites. First, option 3 (which includes support for the IFS) and option 33 (which includes support for the Portable Application Solutions Environment or PASE) of the operating system must be installed. In addition, the IBM licensed program Transform Services for i5/OS, 5761-TS1, must have both the base option and option 1 installed. This product is free and ships as part of the bonus pack with i 6.1."
