Emilio,

it´s very simple.
Get the Adobe Generic Postscript printer (free). Print the report using this driver and save to a postscript file. Use Ghostscript (free) to process the postscript file to a pdf file. And that´s it.
Of course you need to install the PS-printer and Ghostscript and you need a little program that will handle the proper call to Ghostscript but you can find it by searching for ps2pdf in Google. If you need help, let me know.

This solution is superior compared to others. VFP is very fast in generating the report. The speed and stability of other tools to process the report into a pdf file is rather pathetic. We now use this solution for several implementations and it hasn´t disappointed us yet. Even when generating a 400 page report (into a pdf file). This is the way to go!

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Ron

PS use the GPP from Adobe to create the PS file. Any printer can do it but Adobe´s is the best.


>THANKS! I'll download this puppy and see if i can figure out how it works.
