Bob,

thank you for interesting sample.
I have some questions about it:

1. Why you don't call ghostscript dll directly ?
This simplifies code and provides better error checking.

2. Why you require to install a psotscript printer dirver from adobe ?
Windows already has postscript driver.

3. REPORT FORM command causes my application to become active.
This is very annyoining if application is used for background processing.
How to prevent this ?

4. Is it possible to convert postscript or other output from REPORT command file to a html file ?

>>I'm looking into AmyUni for use with a LAN application that has over 100 VFP reports and some pre-scanned images. Users want to select an assortment of reports and a couple of images, sort them, and fax, print or email the resulting multi-page document. Does this sound feasible with AmyUni? If so, what is the speed of report file generation like? Ideally, the solution shouldn't take much longer than it does to print on the network printer now.
