Jozef,

That seems to be a limitation of the reportbehavior=90 when sending to PDF. For now, you have to use a third-party product like XFRX or Mind's Eye Report Engine. Maybe they will fix it in a future service pack.

>Hi !
>I use Amyuni PDF printer (and sometimes PDF995 printer driver) to put VFP reports into PDF file. In the past I used "set reportbehavior 80" command an all was OK - eg. content of created PDF file looks great and the file is searchable.
>Problems start when PDF file is created using PDF printer driver when reportbehavior 90 is in affect - rendering pages seems to take longer and content of resulting PDF files LOOKS BAD and text cannot be searched and the file size is bigger. It seems that the PDF file now contains images.
>What is strange - sometimes reportbehavior 90 works as good as 80 - for example when my reports designed for portrait orientation are printed to PDF file using landscape page orientation. So it must be somtimes what trigers the described bad behavior. The same VFP report design results in quite different PDF files dependend on printout orientation (portrait-bad, landscape-good)
>Maybe someone knows a solution ?
