The Adobe Acrobat generator installs as a printer driver, which is used to produce .PDF files by pretty much any WinApp that references it. Rick Strahl has released a VFP class that simplifies using the Acrobat printer driver with VFP; you can download his class from his Web site (www.west-wind.com, and it may be here on UT in the Files Section as well (I haven't checked.)

>I have seen several references to using Acrobat to create reports. How does the Acrobat Driver work. Do you just specify it as the printer, or is there more to it than that?
