Well, we do.

Our software SBTN3812-SCS2PDF-eForm creates a virtual
IBM 3812 printer on AS/400 - and converts spool files to PDF
on the fly. Since we are a system printer - you can use
WRKSPLF-like function to transform spool files to PDF documents.

SBTN3812 automatically
 o transforms Spool File to PDF,
 o Segments/Splits it based on say Invoice Number,
 o merges Electronic Form Overlay with
   variable data enabling replacement of pre-printed form,
 o composes name of the PDF document from line data,
   so that PDF document name is meaningful,
 o Retrieves email address in a variety of ways.
 o Emails PDF documents to Individual or Group,
 o Uses Microsoft Access Database for Email Name and Address.
 o Allows customization of email subject and message.
 o Saves status of email transmission in EmailLog.mdb file.
 o FTPs PDF documents to IFS,
 o generates up to 16 indices for archival system and
   saves it in Microsoft Access database.
 o Intuitive easy-to-use Graphical User Interface
   enables minimum skill office staff to distribute
   reports and documents easily.
 o and much more.

SBTN3812-SCS2PDF-eForm is a all-in-one, highly
integrated solution.

All above for only $250.
