Paul James has put together a nice VFP class called Print2PDF that helps
take the pain out of using GhostScript. More information can be seen here:

You can use a PostScript printer (as mentioned earlier) then use
GhostScript (as mentioned eariler) to create a PDF. My experience is
that Eqeus is much easier. to figure out. - or -
You can pro grammatically find and set the default printer to the PDF
printer available on the users computer.
You will need to install a PDF printer on each computer.
You will need to know the name of that PDF printer or (as I did)
demand that the name is of your choosing.

You can buy Eqeus. it's much easier. What's your time worth? :-)
Hope this helps

How would I print to Word? I'm looking at the Report Form command and see
nothing there about printing to Word.
I found a utility that creates a PDF printer, and that works nicely, but
it's extra steps for the user (Printer dialog pops up, they choose the PDF
printer, enter a file name, etc.). I'd like to have them simply click a
button that sent the report output to a Word document or a PDF. I already
have something that'll automatically create an email with the file
attached,
but I need to make the file first.
Thanks!
John
