The example I gave put the EBCDIC data from the AS/400 in the PDF
stream, instead of translating it into ISO-8859-1. There's not much
point in doing this for CCSID 37, or 273 for Germany, or others that
convert to ISO-8859-1, but I thought it was quite cool that PDF could
do this.
For AS/400 CCSIDs that map to ISO-8859-2 or ISO-8859-15 instead, the
PDF _will_ need to specify a different font encoding. All the
ISO-8859-15 glyphs are at least present in the standard PDF fonts.
Unfortunately some of the characters in CCSID 870 / ISO-8859-2, for
Eastern European languagues, are not.
