>>>>I have spent the last few hours trying to get the old program print2pdf working on my Windows 7 PC. My partner had no problems getting it to work on his Window XP PC. I moved everything to drive c:. I downloaded the latest versions of Ghostscript and the Adobe winsteng.exe. The problem appears to be with winsteng.exe. Although I downloaded it from the Adobe site it has a date of 2002 and does not want to install on Win 7.

Thanks Tore and everyone else for the input.

We have used XFRX for a number of years now and love it. The problem is that our main source of income is now 17 years old and was converted from DOS about 10 or so years ago. Most of the 278 reports came from DOS and were easily converted to VFP 6. (Now VFP 9) When we run the reports with report writer set to VFP 9 or run them with XFRX to PDF all numeric fields show all asterisks. It's a font and size thing and requires spending some time reworking each report. We where looking for an easy way out as we have only converted about 30 of the most requested reports so far. Not a lot of work on each but a whole bunch of reports.

After looking at all the options and what is required to install any other method to print to PDF files we decided that we will continue to convert the reports and use XFRX. It is so superior in every way to any other method available to VFP in terms of installing and support required. More work up front but much less later. Just got to get through the other 250 reports.
