Hi Jerry, the pdf generations is based in a report listener I wrote several years ago, Cesar however has made it much better, he has fixed several errors and added much more functionality. The difference with a printer driver, is that this listener uses Haru PDF library (a windows DLL) and draws each object in the PDF canvas based on the VFP report coordinates, must opf the code goes in the Render Event. As far as I now, the printer driver would be several times faster since it's a much lower level just processing PS files.

Cheers,

Luis
I never forget a face, but in your case I will make an exception :-)
