Hi fellow geniuses-- Hope I'm not speaking out of turn! I've been using Primo PDF for a few years and works great, you set it up as a printer in Windows and it automatically converts what you send to it into a PDF file. Works very fast and I've never had a problem with it. Anyway,You'd have to get DPspool to send it to this printer somehow, I've never tried it but at least it's free (this program has a pretty good reputation with everyone I've talked to).
Here's the free download: http://www.primopdf.com/primopdf_free_idx.aspx It's pretty cool, no advertising screen splash annoyances.

Hello Don, Sounds like what you need is a utility that enables your db to create a .pdf file. Adobe might have some solutions for you. The company where I am currently temping Mighty Leaf Tea uses an app created by Sage Software found at http://sagesoftware.com/ that enables an option to deliver .pdf files through the print menu. We use this for our International invoicing. Avenue to explore? BTW thought about you while watching the Steelers/Jaguars game. All the best, Tony -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Don Friedman Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2008 6:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Dataperf] A question for the genius bar . . . 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
