By "universal methodology" I would suggest creating the PDF by using tools supplied by IBM.
There are these freebies:
Resource
ID Option Feature Description
5770TS1 *BASE 5050 IBM Transform Services for i
5770TS1 *BASE 2924 IBM Transform Services for i
5770TS1 1 5050 Transform Services - AFP to PDF Transform

I find it as simple as this example CL using a standard IBM supplied print file (for BRMS). I deleted several lines. Basically we use this logic to put our BRMS recovery reports on multiple geographically dispersed servers.
