'With pedal' means that the composer wants you to use the pedal at your discretion. Not much help to MIDI I'm afraid.
I suggest you play through the piece, noting what sounds good and put explicit pedal markings in, but this won't help the next performer who may have completely different ideas. Very few composers of the Classical and Romantic eras use explicit pedal markings unless they want a particular effect.
Regards,
Peter
