Ed,
I agree, HTML is certainly not ideal, but as a quick and dirty solution until they convert each report it might work. It obviously depends on how sophisticated these reports are.
>HTML is a nightmare for this - the page rendering is all relative and resolved at print time, and will vary according to the perceived resolution and page definition of the printer - there's no such thing as page sizing, tray selection, ad nauseum. PostScript or Adobe PDF is far more universal and consistent.
