Free Ctrlp licence says that it must be used only with human interaction.
I found that it doesn't create any output and doesn't produce any
error message if REPORT FORM command is used without PROMPT clause!

Fortunately, as I wrote in previous letter,
there is another free solution!

I use Ghostscript

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/

with Redmon

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/redmon/

This allows to create pdf files without any user interaction.
There is also detailed instructions how to implement this.

I plan to use this to create pdf files from Visual FoxPro program
in webserver and return application/pdf content to browser.

Sorry Adobe, but your time is over.
