- Use the SAS Output Descriptor System (ODS) PDF formatting option.

- Use txt2pdf (Text to PDF) from SANFACE software.

- Use the txt2pdf REXX exec from M Miller.

- Use the built-in facilities of a report distribution tool such as Mobius (aka CA View-Direct).

Is this a "new process" for your system? Are not there some already established methods available?

If the answer for both the above question is "No" -- consider the suggestions from MrSpock. Still, suggest you get in contact with some "senior" at your shop -- I believe such a process should be there, already.
