Google says look at Ghostscript, but it
appears that this is a PC based solution.

It's a cross-platform solution. About 9999 times out of 10000, the
term "cross-platform" means "originally developed for Unix or Linux,
then ported to OS X and Windows, and anyone else is welcome to try to
compile the source on whatever cockamamie platform they have".

And so it is with Ghostscript.

Note that porting to PASE is often roughly as easy as porting to OS X
or Windows, especially if you're current and have the recent IBM open
source bundles.

I'm a little picky when it comes to the IBM i community mistakenly
using "PC" as a term for "anything other than the i" because ignorance
about the other platforms doesn't serve the IBM i community well.
