We have conditional code in our software to look for either the PDF Writer or "Adobe PDF" as a print driver. The "Adobe PDF" I believe is part of distiller, and will be present if Adobe 6 or greater has been installed.

>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.)
