Hi, Jozef.

>I've tried mindeye and xfrx. Both have limitation (as regard as how report is designed) and did not run good with my reports. I can't test/redesign several dozens of reports (each of them has also several different options).

I don't know what features you're using are not supported in Mind's Eyes control, but you can check about these with Rich. Sometimes he can solve apparently hard problems in a few minutes, and he's very open to do it.

>It seems for me that one solution for me is to buy PDF royalty free printer driver - using it seems to be easiest - if you have many already tested reports.

This can be a possibility, but take in consideration that you need a license for each of your users. The only one I know which does not charge a fee, displays ads instead.

>As regard as Microsoft - this matter (lack PDF output in VFP9 new report designer) is similar to the way how cursoradapter was introduced. Idea is realy great but some defficiences (for example 255 character limit in property sheet hits everybody trying to store cursor schema) make the final effect more small than it should be.

The 255 characters limitation is just a problem in the builder. There is not any implicit limitation in the class itself. I never used the builder, and never ran into this problem, indeed. But I'm a code-type guy, I almost don't use visual classes. ;-)
