>>>>We recently implemented a mechanism for making our reports downloadable form the web in Adobe Acrobat format. You could do the same with email. Adobe PDFWriter comes with a virtual printer device that creates a pdf when printed to. If you go to West wind's support page and search for pdf, you will find a lot of discussion on what it takes to do this.

No, it was not difficult to implement. The essence of the routine is like:

Modify __pdf.ini to output to your preset textfile.
SET PRINTER TO Adobe Acrobat
REPORT FORM myreport TO PRINTER NOCONSOLE

Rick's class just takes care of modifying the ini file, and implements a semaphore locking mechanism to ensure that multiple concurrent hits on the the printer get processed. using this class, my end of the code was around 10 lines.

The wwPDF class ships with the enterprise version of WC, but Rick has posted all of the code on his website, so I assume it should be ok to use.
