>Craig, I'm a little confused. If we convert the docs to PDF, then go into the Crystal Viewer and insert a PDF object. Would that not require the end user to have the PDF creator program installed ? We can't require the users to have Word or Adobe. We can install the PDF reader, but will that work?

>>PDF should be easy to do. The PDF Distillers work just like a printer driver. Just specify the file name to save to. With over 100 documents, you could write a sort program to automate the conversion to PDF.

I'm not sure what the distribution license for the PDF viewer is, but you can distribute it. It's an ActiveX control and "should" load for you. The other option is to load it instead of the CR viewer.
