Hi:
Another point to keep in mind is that while you can create the stored process and run the stored process in EG to get PDF results, you may not be able to get PDF results in all the various client applications.
For example, if you run your stored process in PowerPoint or Web Report Studio, those client applications can only "receive" SASReport XML output from stored processes.
If you use EG or the Information Delivery Portal or the SAS Stored Process Web Application to run your stored process, then you can receive PDF results with those client applications.
If you use the SAS Stored Process Web Application to run your stored process, you may need to use the STPSRV_HEADER function to tell the SPWA that you are returning PDF results to the browser.
As long as your stored process is executed in EG, however, you should be OK getting PDF results. Changing the result type to transient, as Chris recommends is a good idea. (But even with transient output, I do not believe you can receive PDF results from a stored process in PowerPoint or Web Report Studio.)
