Thanks Randy
woke from a deep sleep
this is OLE on Windoze
I think my confusion was re properties & methods.
Property:
$theDoc->{FontSize} = '96';
Methods
$theDoc->AddText('Hello World');
$theDoc->Save('c:\hworld.pdf');
and it works as advertised.
Thanks a million
CJ

What type of object is $thedoc? What type of object is $Server? I can 
infer the platform your working on only because I'm familiar with 
Windows. Is this OLE or a pdf writing module that you are using? We need 
much more context information.

Randy.
