That is not true - for example you can buy developer licence of Amyuni PDF Creator - it is royalty free. There are also other similar products.

>>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.

For me it is not big problem - I use cursoradapter class. But general impression was spoiled. Here on UT there was many threads concerning this subject. Especially novice VFP user could be dissapointed.
