Hi Don,

You could try the following link below to DOSPRINTER which seems to work in a similar fashion to DPSPOOL, in that it allows you print to any standard Windows printer, but, unlike DPSPOOL for which you would still have to acquire a pdf creator of some sort, it appears to have pdf creation built in.

For many years I've run a report out of DP that I print using a very old DOS utility called 4Print. Basically 4Print shrinks the text to print two, three or four "regular" pages on a single page. This is how I produced my political walk lists. Back in '93 the guy who wrote it actually added an optional function just for my use. The program has been invaluable.

Today I am trying to create a print file from this program and create a .pdf file. I am able to "print" to a filename and when I print that file name from the DOS line it prints in the format I want it in. So far, so good. Now my task is to figure out how to "print" that file into a .pdf format. Does anyone have a clue?

I figured that I'd ask here before venturing off on any wild tangents.

Don
