Hi Ed,

there's the original Acrobat PDFWRITER. It's acting like any other

printerdriver. Only problem is, that the outputfilename is set via an INI

value. This is of no problem with standard Desktop apps, but at a Webserver

it could happen that two or more instances are trying to generate a PDF,

overwriting each others INI values. Either you put some sort of

semaphore-locking around your printing (Rick Strahl has a Adobe-Wrapper

class for download), or revert to the AMUNI PDFwriter, which has a regular

COM Object interface and even a FLL for further control (and VFP examples).

See their ads in FPA or http://amyuni.com/pdfpd.htm#pdfconvdesc

Subject: VFP and Acrobat

Hey guys,

Any of you have any experience creating documents in VFP? We're

currently serving up web pages for users to print, but we'd like to

incorporate Acrobat into the site to be able to send the users PDFs

instead.
