DataStage itself has no pdf output, but various tools exist to print to pdf files or to create pdf files. What contents do you want in the PDF?

You can use reporting tools such as Business Objects. That has the capability of saving as pdf.

A report of *what* information? Basically, if it is a DataStage report you can always print it to a PDF document.

manual intervention is required for this, ie. manually taking the excel output and converting it into pdf...
My target is to prepare a pdf file report and send it to mail box of users using notification stage. so no manual intervention will be there...

DataStage has no builtin PDF writing stage. But you could always call a conversion tool from an after-job routine or from a job sequence to perform this PDF creation.
