What exactly do you want to convert to a .PDF? Do you want to convert the "spool file list"? Or do you want to convert a spooled file that is found through the list?

IBM has plenty of examples for almost anything. You should really spend some time on IBM's information center page.

Listing spooled files asynchronously

Reading spooled files

FWIW. I did this not to long ago in Python (Well Jython so I can use JT400)

system should be a reference to a com.ibm.as400.access.AS400 object
userMask is a string usually "*ALL"; optionally the user name of your choice to only get a list of spooled files created by that user
outQMask is also a string. I had to consult the java doc on this one; it needs to look something like this:

/QSYS.LIB/%LIBL%.LIB/WES.OUTQ

Replacing "WES" with the out queue of your choosing. %LIBL% indicates all libraries in the library list of the job, this can be replaced with a specific library as well.

This method returns a list of com.ibm.as400.access.SpooledFile objects. This code is almost a 1 to 1 translation of the examples already linked too in the thread.

def getSpooledFileList(system, userMask, outQMask):
    spooledFiles = []
    splfList = SpooledFileList(system)
    
    #Set filters, all users, on all queues
    splfList.setUserFilter(userMask)
    splfList.setQueueFilter(outQMask)
    
    #Open list, openAsynchronously() returns immediately  
    splfList.openAsynchronously()
    
    #Wait for list to complete
    splfList.waitForListToComplete()
    
    enum = splfList.getObjects()

    #Add spooled file object to a list
    while(enum.hasMoreElements()):
        splf = enum.nextElement()   #splf is a com.ibm.as400.access.SpooledFile object
        if not(splf == None):
            spooledFiles.append(splf)
    #Clean up after we are done with the list
    splfList.close()
    
    return spooledFiles
