You could use an AFP printer driver and have something that batch prints the PDF from Windows.
Or there are ways to auto-print PDF from a Windows print driver to PCL and capture the output file and place into the IFS.
We have a product called automate that could automate the PDF rendering process and then place the output in the IFS.
You can download a trial version from here:

Once you get it installed let me know and I can do a technical session with you.

subject: PDF to AFPDS using Infoprint server and AFPDS to PCL using
HPT
Can you please help me on this below requirement,
we have third party software which had placed PCL format earlier and our
program takes the PCL label file from IFS folder and gives to our
printing software this worked fine but going forward they place only PDF
label file instead of PCL in IFS folder so in this case we have to
convert PDF to PCL.
Client does not agree to install third party software.
our printing software will accept only PCL format.
As per i know we cant convert PDF to PCL directly so we have to convert
PDF to AFPDS and from AFPDS to PCL.
Note: here we are not going to print anything we just need IFS folder
consisting PCL label file instead of PDF so we can use our existing
program.
Our goal is to:
1) Create a AFPDS spool file out of PDF file in IFS folder
2) Then use AFPDS `spool file and convert it to PCL and place it in a
new IFS folder
I have gone through below IBM document but i did not get what i am
looking for.
