+1 on using CPYSPLF this way.
I do wonder, still, where Gio obtained the TIFF2PDF command - there are several products and free applications that include it. My guess is that it is fairly old, and with 7.5, one must definitely check the older stuff for compatibility. He should contact whomever provided TIFF2PDF and see about how it works in 7.5.

Gio,
IBM i has supported the ability to directly create PDF files from spool files since V7R1.
See:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/using-transform-services-generate-pdf-stream-files-instead-spooled-files
and:
https://blog.easi.net/en/services/ibm-power-systems/ibm-i-spool-files-converteren-naar-pdf-0
On the CPYSPLF command, you can now specify
CPYSPLF ... TOFILE(*STMF) and STMF('/your/IFS/pathname/filename.pdf') WSCST(*PDF)
Can it get any easier than that?
Hope that helps,
Mark S. Waterbury
