>Advantages are the readers are easily available. PDF files are fairly efficient ways to move documents around (better than a BMP, plus you could blow up a PDF file and not lose resolution (in theory)).

>I have talked to someone who successfully did this to distribute reports to managers via the web. They wanted managers to use web browsers to view a batch of reports that was created every month instead of sending out binders of printed reports. They were going to go with straight HTML but formatting capabilities of regular HTML leaves a lot to be desired. Also the company wanted to use the Fox report writer instead of coding their own HTML report generation procedures. He created the reports in Fox, printed to PDF files, and posted the information to the web. The thing that kept helped him out the most was that there were only a few workstations set up to generate the Fox reports and create the PDF files. If the creation of these PDF files was spread out to more client applications you'll have more software to install and maintain (and license?)

I forgot all about Abobe Acrobat, I take a look at it, thanks. Depending on cost, it may not be an acceptable option. There are over 250 workstations that will have access to post documents to the Notes Tables. I've been chasing down information of Unidrv.dll, I may be able to write a quick and easy (if that is possible) print driver that just dumps out to some type of graphic format. Right now, I'm not too picky.

Thank for your suggestion.
