I will pipe in and say I agree. I thought from early comments that PDF
capability would exist in VFP9.0. I've been looking forward to that. Can I scream on the Internet? Can you hear me Ken???

The world won't come to an end if it's not there, but... boy it would be nice if I could produce PDFs right out of the box.

>Hi Ken !
>Now I can buy a several PDF printer drivers that make PDF file from any VFP report. What for are all the mentioned hooks ?
>To be honest - it makes me angry that VFP9 report designer will not have PDF support. At first sight it seems that is a kind of misunderstanding making today a new report designer without PDF support. Can you put some light on this subject ?

>>>Can anyone confirm or deny that VFP 9.0 will have the following report features built-in?
>>>
>>>- Conversion to PDF
>>>- Text Rotation

>>>Life will be good if it does...

>>Text rotation for the report writer controls will not be at design-time, but we will provide hooks and a solution sample showing you how you can do this at runtime for reports.

>>Conversion of reports to PDF will not be a feature native to VFP 9.0, but there will be many add-ons available using the extensive hooks we are providing to allow you to create PDF outputs from VFP reports.
