>Another alternative comes from http://www.zeon.com.tw/ Docucom PDF Driver. We investigated several solutions while trying to add eMail capability to our reports. All printer driver solutions require a license fee. We needed a 10 license solution for the regional offices that were writing output. I believe (it has been about 8 months) that this one was $300 or $800 for ten licenses. I know this is a huge spread but I can't remember which we paid.

>The driver is installed on the machine as a printer (it can be used with any program that prints). It is manipulated by VFP through an 'INI' file. I used an INI file manipulater I got here at UT. Once I learned how to use the INI manipulator the whole thing was fairly straight forward. I used Nigel Cotes mail system - also on UT to send the PDF file to any one I needed. I did have to modify his program to use it though.

>The Amyuni driver workes the same way although I never got it to fully work. I believe it was my error though. I think I was supposed to install it on the sending machine as a printer just like Docucom but I didn't get that from the Docs. It costs also, for each "writer" computer. It is easier to manipulate though, as they have a VFP library 'ffl' file they can give you that comes with samples. This could have been the $800 product.
