Sebastian,
You should go into DCOMCNFG Security for your EXE COM Server, choose "use custom access permissions" and add iUSR, IWAM, and ASPNET users. Do the same thing for "custom launch permissions". This exe com should now be callable from your VFP mtdll(from asp and asp.net), although I haven't tried from the Acrobat writer. I used Print2PDF which uses GhostScript(free!) and if you follow thread #742007, Amyuni was also used successfully...
