I am using FoxPro in connection w/ MSWord to dynamically create documents (Material Safety Data Sheets), after which the program converts the MSWord documents to PDF format. (I used MSWord instead of a VFP report to generate the documents, b/c VFP report bands were unable to properly output the long memo fields across pages, an issue Microsoft support verified with me.)

I had been using installed "Acrobat PDFWriter" printer drivers to convert the generated MSWord documents into PDF, but Acrobat 6.0 and above do not use this, they only use the "distiller."

I would welcome recommendations as to the best way to convert the MSWord documents into PDF format, from within FoxPro, either accessing current Acrobat functionality or other tools.

Thanks,
Randy W.
