Chris,

I generate documents with another tool, use the Generic Postscript Printer from Adobe to turn it into a postscript file (including colors) and using Ghostscript to turn the ps-file into the pdf-file (including security settings). This runs like a charm on a server and is quite fast in generating the pdf file.

As this is COM-object it is running under a admin account on a server as it needs access to the print-queue's.

Regards,

Ron

>>I need to Save / PrintToFile a VFP-generated MSWord doc to a PDF file. I need to be able to specify the PDF filename. Cannot rely on the presence of certain versions of MSWord or MSOffice on the machine. Cant assume the user already has a PDF printer installed. Need to deploy functionality via an installer... which i'm sure is a pain in the arse with windows rights issues when attempting to install PDF printers via a setup process.
