What makes you think that if PDF was supported out of the box that it would make proper PDF outputs for your reports?

Um.... what makes you think that it would not, Craig?
It is possible without pain *or* cost to handle FoxPro reports -> PDF *without* any sacrifice of report features or difference in the layout.
And this has been possible since VFP 7.
I say this without caveats or qualifications about the "complexity" of the report.
It takes some work to do, yes. But I'm doing it today in production applications. In VFP 7. In reports that are complex in layout, that are concatenated from several different types with different orientations, etc, and that -- just BTW -- were written in FoxPro 2.x Windows.
VFP 9 will make it a whole lot easier to do this and a lot more seamless from the Xbase developer's POV but the tools have been in front of you all the time.
