Hi,

If you want to produce only a pdf from your dynamic job,
The solution is to create a generic JOB factory.
that will launch SQR and you specify to the output option of your job to
display the pdf.
so you have to do 
1) setup a generic job factory use oneadministrator 
look to the OneAdmin documentation how to do it, this will depend if you
run on unix or NT

( stop the JF service and SB service and restart both)

2) add your dynamic job not as sqr job 
specify what *.pdf as the primary output file.

Franck,
