Thank you everybody who responded - I now have several possibilities to digest, and test hopefully.
Cheers,

John,
Please forgive the direct response rather than via the list. SpoolPDF and OpenPDF were designed to do exactly this. SpoolPDF converts MPE spooler CCTL to their PCL equivalents. OpenPDF converts PCL in to highly efficient PDF including fonts, graphics, forms and even some colour.
I've attached a single page PDF which gives a little more description of these two MPE products. They are in use at hundreds of HP3000 sites (yes there are still quite a few), and yes the product is still developed to keep up with the latest in Adobe's PDF developments. It also exists in PC and Unix flavours, albeit without the MPE specific features of SpoolPDF.
It's a reasonably priced commercial product and as you posted this on the 3000-L this email is being provided for your information only. We shall NOT follow up with further emails unless you specifically ask us to.
SpoolPDF and OpenPDF are available as free of charge 30 day evaluation versions. There's no commitment required on your part. The evaluations might be useful just to gain a better understanding of what is involved.
They are simple to install and use, just upload them from an email.
Good luck with your endeavours in this area.

Does anybody have any experience they can pass on here please?
We have some fairly complex (in terms of lines and fonts) documents printed to paper (PCL5), but there is a request now to convert them to pdfs for emailing....
I see there are products offered, but would feel happier if I had some guidance to ones that are known to work...
thanks
john
