Tub Trap replacement

[jhuppman1]

I have installed new tub and now need to replace the existing brass trap since it does not line up with new tub drain and it is not adjustable. The Plumber is recommending PVC trap tied into the existing copper drain line. Is this my best option? If so, should this new PVC be all glue joints, are compression fitting allowed for under floor installations?
Any information would be greatly appreciated. I don't mind PVC, but want to make sure it is installed properly.
Thank you.

I would use a solvent-weld trap. The copper to PVC connection would be made with a banded coupler.

What is your tub's drain waste and overflow made of? If it is plastic and NOT a "trip lever" operated one, the trap may NOT have to "line up".

Thanks for the quick feed backs.
The drain waste and overflow is black pvc and not a "trip lever" operated one. The drain has a spring pop up and the overflow is top inlet "deep soak" type made by American Standard, I thought to go with the Tub which is also American Standard Americast (30 X 60).

IN that case, you can probably angle the pipe from the bottom drain to the trap location and then "offset" the overflow pipe to line up with its opening. It would be a simple task for any competent plumber.
