Thanks Sergey, Foxypreviwer is a very nice solution for the VFP app.
I'd also like to add similar functionality to a very large FPW2.6 app my client can't afford to have rewritten.
Recently, I've added a lot of modern functionality to this app by creating exe's in VFP and running them using RUN /N. In this case, the PDF creator and e-mailer would have to run unattended.
One annoying aside to this technique is that I can't seem to get the VFP components to honour SCREEN = OFF in the config.fpw, so the screen flashes on (annoyingly) until the first line of code (_SCREEN.VISIBLE = .F.) is hit.
