Gerard,
Check out the free GhostScript for PDF generation from VFP at http://64.152.50.10/vfpps2pdf/ (by Bob Lee, uses the GS .exe) and ftp://216.149.157.164/PDomain/VFP/Print2PDF.zip (by Paul James, uses the GS .dll -probably better for performance). GhostScript is really good and has a great deal of support. The only problem I'm dealing with now is getting color to work which, according to the instructions, should'nt be a problem...
>Hi.
>I'm looking at putting in an option on my APPS to output reports to PDF format , so they can be emailed. (I've chosen PDF as they seem to be the most secure in that a recipient would need a PDF writer to amend the documents , which I dont want happening)
>
>I've seen refernece to a few here in download section , but would be very interested in getting feedback from anybody who actually uses such utilities in a working APP.
>The sort of criteria i'll be deciding on would be as follows:
>
>Ease of installation with minimum dependencies ... Quite important
>Price .... Not that important
>Speed .... Quite inportant
>Ease of installation ... Important
>
>The utility does not necessarily have to be VFP based but it must be able to output a VFP report to PDF
>
>I would appreciate any comments / feedback

>Regards,
