>>>1. Can I create PDFs from report (and from Excel) without having anything extra installed?

Gary,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I planned to start with Lisa N article and download for this task, but for now we decided that we can get away with Excel password-protected file, so I didn't investigate this route yet.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
