My customers use UNFORM from Synergetic - provides a rule based system
for producing, delivering, archiving documents in PCL, PDF, Postscript
formats. It's client-server, with clients and servers for Windows,
Linux and UNIX (we use on AIX and Centos). Very easy to integrate
into spooler or UniVerse programs/paragraphs, mail, fax, print
processes etc.

Here is a question for this group.
Has anyone been able to generate PDF files directly from UniData and/or
UniVerse without having a manual step involved? In other words, just
running a program using the standard PRINTER ON and PRINTER OFF
commands, and having the output be a PDF file?

As has been pointed out (thanks, guys), our Print Wizard can address this
issue, and many more. Some specific points:
* If your U2 runs on Unix, Linux, AIX, etc., you can route print jobs to
Print Wizard Service Edition (running on a Windows box) as though it were
a remote printer.
* If your U2 runs on Windows, you can do the same approach, to the same or
a different Windows box. Other methods are possible also.
* If your program puts out plain text code (no escape sequences), PW will
auto-fit it to the page.
* If your program puts out PCL-5 data, PW can understand and translate
that.
* Output can be to PDF, to fax (client or server), or to ANY Windows
printer, with great device independence.
* PDF output can be emailed, either automatically, semi-automatically, or
manually, using Outlook, SMTP, or some others.
* Output can be combined with form images (in several formats, with
multiple pages in various sequences).
* Command and control can be interactive or programmatic.
