>Hi All,

>For the longest time we used Amyuni PDF Convertor to convert simple VFP reports to PDF files. We used version 2.1 for many years; it is simple and does the job. The application we do this in is not distributed to clients or used by end-users at all. It runs on a server and just creates PDF files of various VFP reports that we have. It is very easy to use; in VFP we just set output to the Amyuni printer, set the PDF filename and path, run the VFP report, close the printer. Easy.

I guess the new O/S prevents installation of incompatible printer drivers or some reason like that. So the question is, what product can we use instead? I am looking for simple to implement, can run on Windows 2008 server, no re-distribution required to end-users, must just create PDF files from VFP reports, must be simple, does not have to be free - I dont mind to pay for a good product.

I have tried a few of the integrated VFP solutions that try to emulate the Foxpro Report Engine and found that they tend to choke on complex reports. After much difficulty, I gave up. I now use NovaPDF. It allows you to control the printer programatically and the pdf always exactly matches the printed report.
