Take a look at the Report Designer product from Gumbo Software at 
http://www.gumbo.com/Licpgm/ReportDesigner.html

This product has a utility to convert between internally-described and 
externally-described printer specs.

I believe it was bought from another vendor that I used to work for. 
Interface is very like SDA, as I recall - much easier than RLU, which 
only deals with externally-described printer specs.

Once you get your stuff into DDS, you can work with it in RDi.
