I figured out some of my questions. It seems that it is normal for the Distiller to create the postscript file from the VFP REPORT command. I also found the API to convert a postscript file to a PDF. If some could tell me how I can send back the PDF file in an ADO Recordset field, that would be helpful. Below is the code that I used to run a VFP report and create a PDF file. I run this EXE from my VFP COM DLL via WSH Exec method. Once it finishes, I pass the name of PDF file to ASP page to display to the user.

IF FILE(lcPsFile) && If text file exists...
  DELETE FILE (lcPsFile) && Delete text file
ENDIF

IF FILE(tcFrxFile) && If report does exist...
