As a test, what happens if you set reportbehavior 80? Also test set enginebehavior 80 or 70 (just as a test)... Also is the actual printer that it eventually prints to (does it or only to a file?) a GDI printer? Can you try sending the created pdf to a networked printer with memory?

It really seems like having the Printer set to PDF slows Word down on every single command, not just the ActiveDocument.PrintOut itself.

>Oddly, I don't remember PDF printing being particularly slow when I tested this module several weeks ago. It's rather inconvenient that it should show up just as we're beginning beta testing. I could hope the client won't notice or that the feature might not be used but it's pretty high on their "wish list." Of course I could be lucky and it will simply run much faster in their environment.
