Hi Fabrizio

Are they 'normal' (*SCS) or enhanced (*IPDS /*AFPDS) spooled files. For 
*SCS there are more options available, particularly free or cheap 
solutions :) I used to convert *SCS reports to text files on the IFS 
(CPYSPLF, reformatting lines, then CPYTOSTMF) then used a Linux pc to 
convert them to pdf (enscript then ps2pdf) which worked well and was 
free. 

Converting *AFPDS/*IPDS is a lot more work, so you'll usually pay more for 
it. For a native iSeries solution for all spool types I like 
CoolSpools/400[1] which we've used for a couple of years now. Not too 
pricy and has a pile of conversion options.
