The PDF processing would then occur largely without UI. Preview should be an option for any destination but wouldn't necessarily be required. Can the AmyUni features work "behind the scenes" or do they require a UI?

You need to handle the report order programmatically - you will also need to handle the faxing, printing and emailing programmatically - depending upon the fax solution you're going to integrate into it. The nice thing is that once you've concatenated all the reports into one PDF file, the rest is simply manipulating the destination device settings.

The printing you can handle either outside the PDF file (as you would normally) or by using the free Acrobat Reader object model.

Same with the faxing - since most fax products simply have a 'printer driver' type of interface.

The devil is in the details - but it's certainly a workable project. I chose Amyuni because it was the cheapest way to solve my problem (Acrobat licensing is... tedious). But - be sure you use the ActiveX methodology instead of the old-fashioned FoxPro FLL methodology. You can find some details in the Wiki page I put together at
