We do have the transform product installed. And I don't see a problem with it being a requirement for a product upgrade. Everyone should be doing some .PDF at this point.
Unfortunately, we are not finding the product to work correctly with our afpds printer files, so we went to using an outside vendor product. If we could get IBM's version to work for us that would be great.

Subject: PDF Transform Services
I am looking at the possibility of requiring that the IBM's free Transform Services (product 5761TS1 for V6 - 5770TS1 for V7) be installed for PDF generation so that an update of a product can dump the clunky and somewhat error prone PDF generation process currently in use.
The concern is that this might be considered an arduous requirement by the product's users.
My own belief is that the product is so advantageous that the vast majority of customers are likely to already have it installed. If they do not, that they would welcome hearing about it as the most likely reason for not installing it was likely a lack of awareness of its existence. People are used to having to spend $s for stuff like that from IBM.
So - my question is twofold.
1) Do you already have this transform product installed ?
2) If not, would you have any objections to it being a requirement for a product upgrade ?
