AFAIK, STRPCCMD only works thru 5250.  This process runs in a batch job.

 Justin,
So, if the Windows team created this format, is there a process already in place that runs uner Windows to convert this to a .pdf?  If so, why not just use e.g. STRPCCMD to run that from the IBM i side?   e.g. place the file in the IFS on a QNTFS file system, or use NFS, etc., to make the file accessible to Windows, and then run a command to convert it?

 I'm afraid the input/output format is fixed and cannot be altered.

The input format is immutable.  The output must be PDF so it can be merged with other PDF files.  The process runs as a service, with no direct user interaction.
