We do tons of PDF processing. We removed almost all paper-printed processes.

We primarily use the OVRPRTF command to output the spool file to the PDF. It doesn’t result in any actual spool files being created other than a temporary system-controlled process that ultimately results in a .PDF file residing in our IFS (or on a PC server) or displayed on a user’s browser.

Works great for us.

Then if you want a pure RPG solution requiring nothing that doesn't come with the OS, then OVRPRTF would be the way to go. And even if you don't do any AFP tricks, and just emulate a line printer, you can still use an overlay.
