Others have mentioned various options on doing this. For the record, I had to setup something similar years ago to convert PS files to PDF. What I did was setup a PC with Adobe Acrobat and an FTP server. In Acrobat you can define a directory where a batch automated conversion will be performed for any file that is placed in the directory. The resulting output (PDF) will be placed in an output directory. Using this, I wrote an EXEC that would transfer the PS file from CMS to the PC, and then transfer back the resulting PDF. Worked flawlessly. It is not a pure CMS application however.
Aria From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Gentry, Stephen Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 1:27 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: postscript to pdf Does anyone know of a program/utility/whatever that will run on VM that will convert a postscript file to a pdf file? I know there is an html to pdf; that is not what I want. Ideally, it would be written in Rexx and/or assembler. I also have Cobol available and C+ on the mainframe. I've googled but haven't come up with much. Thanks, Steve
