>>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.

>>However, we now want to move this application to Windows 2008 server and the Amyuni installation fails on 2008. 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 now use NovaPDF. It allows you to control the printer programatically and the pdf always exactly matches the printed report.

Brandon, which version are you using to control the printer programmatically?
