David, I use a free utility PDFCreator that allows me to print anything to a PDF. What it does is add a print driver so that "PDFCreator" appears as a PRINTER.
So if RBase does not "Print" selected pages when output is PDF, you could make "PDFCreator" the default windows printer so that when you "Print" from RBase you are actually sending to program that creates PDF. You could then do selected pages.

Too bad we don't have it for PDF, etc as well!

I know you can print to the screen and then from there indicate a range of pages. But isn't there a new feature that allows you to specify this in the PRINT command itself, so you could print to a PDF file or printer but only for a range of the report? I'm not seeing it in HELP PRINT or Razzak's FTE paper "All about the print command" David "David Blocker [email protected] Office: 781-344-1920 Cell: 339-206-0261"
