Hi John,

I think the most simple way, all build in, is

loListener = .NULL.
loPreview = .NULL.
DO (_REPORTOUTPUT) WITH 1,m.loListener
* if preview (I guess I do this more for restore some settings)
DO (_REPORTPREVIEW) WITH m.loPreview
loListener.PREVIEWCONTAINER = m.loPreview
*****************************
* At least on my system, that's the trick, this will be the file name (without extension) on a simple PDF printer:
loListener.PRINTJOBNAME = cYourFileName
*****************************
REPORT FORM .... OBJECT m.loListener

I'm just blinded by XFRX, because it's better automation to FORCE pdf output.

Update:
If you bind the report to the PDF printer, and run without PROMPT, it just goes to PDF file ...
