It would be purchased from IBM or an authorized business partner.

Odds are it is present on the V5R1 CD's and could be installed on a
70-day trial.  If you haven't upgraded to V5R1, you'll have to wait
until you do.  Assuming you have a relationship with whoever sold you
your AS/400, you would get it from them.  Prices by processor tier are
below:
P05 OTC     500
P10 OTC   1,000
P20 OTC   2,000
P30 OTC   3,500
P40 OTC   5,000
P50 OTC   6,500

I believe PDF Transformation is a core function of Infoprint and would
not be available without it (on an IBM-only solution).  Check the list
archives for some recent discussion of third-party PDF transform
products.

If you've read the 'Infoprint Server Introduction and Planning Guide'
(G544-5774-00) and the 'Infoprint Server for iSeries User Guide'
(G544-5775-00), you've hit the high points.  Your best bet might be a
recently published RedPiece (a Red Book which hasn't been thoroughly
edited yet).  'IBM eServer iSeries Printing VI' (SG24-6250-00) and
should present a good overview of the new business functionality of V5R1
printing.
