I've downloaded and installed the free PDF creator named, you guessed it, PDFCreator. I can get it to work in its default behaviour which is to become the Windows default "printer" such that any application that prints will be redirected to PDFCreator for PDF file output. This process requires user intervention/input since a dialog is displayed for them to enter a filename, etc.

What I'm trying to do is make the PDF creation as invisible as possible from within the VFP application. There is a COM method of printing but I cannot figure out how to use it.

Has anyone got any experience using this utility to do what I need?

TIA
Mike
