There's the free adobe acrobat reader that anyone can distribute royalty free. Then there's the acrobat writer that has a bunch of tools for creating pdfs: specifically the pdf writer and the pdf distiller. You can actually automate the creation of PDFs through VFP and the PDF writer. Another cool thing, have users upload to a central web server in any format and use PDFmaker Word macro (also included with full acrobat) to convert automatically to PDF to have a consistent format for others to use. We did this for a medical society..

>Does Adobe Acrobat have any type of 'runtime' option?

>Our app has about 30 reports and graphs where we call Crystal Reports from within VFP. Many of our users want to e-mail the output image to other users.

>We've always told these users to buy Adobe Acrobat..however, does Adobe (or anyone else) offer some type of Adobe run-time, so that we could bundle a set of DLLs, OCX files, etc. with our app?
