I'm surprised you don't have more suggestions, Cameron, given that you collect links to PDF convertors. ;-) http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.text.pdf/PDF_converters.html > B.

Another interesting approach might be to look at other members of ReportLab's family tree: http://sping.sourceforge.net/ http://sping.sourceforge.net/notesPDF/index.html However, it doesn't seem that either are capable of inserting the kinds of vector files you are using. It may be worth writing a quick and dirty PDF writer using an existing backend library, though I can imagine that the hard work would involve reading the different input formats you want to use. Anyway, for future reference, the following projects might prove to be inspiring: http://pyx.sourceforge.net/ http://pybrary.net/pyPdf/ David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
