Not to be condescending, but the dotNet lists are just about pointless, unless you are interested in writing iterater-interfaces-to-observer patterns rather than applications. God only knows what C# developers actually do, but they sure do a lot of it... Anyway, I certainly have done as Paul suggested and had a pdf stored in a file with a name field of "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" and loaded it into a stringlist and done a string replace with the name. It gets hard when wide characters make wide names rather than long. The other way that I have done is with pdf995, which installs as a printer. With some shagging around a TWebBrowser can then be made to print to the default printer, which will store the resulting pdf in a particular place. pdf995 has a demo download, which is free to use as long as you don't mind the page it pops up. I think the popup gets in the way when you are trying to dev. against the trial, but its something like $10 US, so we just bought before we could confirm it worked. Lastly I haven't tried a Delphi component, but there is one and I can't remember what it's called... Cheers, Kurt.
