Here's an example that first uses the ODS Report Writing Interface (preproduction as of 9.2 Phase 2) to write the text and then writes it again using ODS PDF TEXT statements. Using 9.2 Phase 2, the results seem to be the same.

I am looking to one page of brief text at the beginning of PDF report
to introduce the reader to the tables and graphs which follow. The
introduction is too long for regular SAS footnotes, so is there a
better option than the mess below? :)
