Hi Jon, As an aside the PrimoOnline is pretty neat.... I occasionally get some of the file types that it supports, but do not have programs to display them in or print them from, so an online converter like that can come in pretty handy in an emergency...

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.

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.
