>>>>I am looking for a simple(!) way to print automatically to a pdf. As I've wasted all morning looking for a solution, I hope one of you has what I'm looking for. I'm using VFP 9 and in my perfect world would be able to simply put:

Ironically, I have the program set to merge pdfs, even fill out a pdf form and put a signature stamp on it, but can't do this one simple thing! Please help show me the obvious, simple solution to this. I looked at frx2any but am hoping for something even more straightforward.

It tries simulate report exactly. It successfull for that but, generates hundreds of cells for simulate report in Excel and it's useless for calculating etc... Our customers dislike it's Excel output so we put a Send to excel button at report page. It simply runs a "copy to ... type xls" command.
