>However, if you are programatically creating RTF you could use my tool by writing VFP code to generate the same document straight into my Report Engine. I could also add some more methods to create Spreadsheet type Grids as well which would make it easier much like I did on adding the Chart Data methods. So, it is definitely doable. Do the documents need to even be in a Word document or is that just because of the automation to add the spreadsheets and then the document ends up in a PDF?
I create a character map/mesh using Excel with extensive cell formatting, and then layer the map over some or all of the word document to create a security overlay effect. I used to do this in the printer using PCL-HPGL2/Prescribe (Kyocera), but, I couldn't do anything with the document until after it had been printed (like fax it, e-mail it etc.,)
To be honest, I am not sure that a report writer could create this type of document. Certainly, the VFP report writer couldn't manage it by a mile. There are plenty of Word->PDF tools out there. Its just that a combination of that capability with ehanced VFP reporting would be a nice bundle.
