>I am using wwPDF and Adobe PDFWriter to create PDF reports from VFP7. In my switch from a Win2K Pro box to a WinXP Pro box, the PDF creation has stopped working. I've traced it down to when the *.PS file is created. Just after this file is created a *.PS.PDF file is supposed to be created, but it isn't.

In case the other answers don't work, here's a SWAG: a client was installing PDFWriter 4.0 (not 5.0) on an XP box today. The setup was complaining that there was no PostScript driver installed on the system; it recommended installing a PostScript printer and then re-running the setup.

I walked them through installing an Apple Colour LaserWriter driver, everything was fine after that.

If 5.0 still depends on a pre-installed PostScript driver, is it possible the driver has become uninstalled or corrupted somehow? (I told you it was a SWAG ;-))
