Hi. PDFCreator uses, as almost all of the PDF makers, a postscript printer on a FILE: port. Once the file is done, it call GhostScript to convert the ps file to pdf (PDF Creator uses also a port manager to make this conversion automatic, but it isn't needed).
(You'll find all info on wiki searching PDF and even a class to manage all the stuff, I just don't remember the name right now and am too lazy to search it <s>). So, you should be able to install a postscript printer on the FILE: port Then in VFP : SET PRINTER TO NAME this ps printer. Then : REPORT TO FILE tmp.ps Then call the GhostScript cmdline exe (run or ShellExecute or whatever gswin32c.exe with the needed parameters) to convert the tmp.ps file to a PDF file. That is.
