Razzak, Added "EMBED_USED_FONTS ON" to the V9 EEP. The PDF report created is 15 pages (it is big), readable by R:Base PDF viewer and Adobe Reader. The file is 1,250K compared to a 65K file without "EMBED_USED_FONTS ON". A one page report w/ Embed is 800K compared to 20K w/o. There will eventually be thousands of these files. I am going to try other fonts for the checkboxes to see if that changes anything or simply replace the checkboxes with something else like a text "X" with a border. Adobe reads the non-Embed R:Base created PDF just fine. What changed between V8 and V9? V8 does this with no problem.
How do I keep Adobe Reader from firing up in the background whenever PDF viewer loads a PDF file?

I had stopped using the "EMBED_USED_FONTS ON" previously because it really built up the size of the PDF. Time to try again. I have a small sample of what I did coming to you through R:DCC.

It seems that the enhanced PDF Viewer Control in R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 requires the inclusion of fonts in PDF report to display all CheckBox controls accordingly. While we take care of the backward compatibility, try the following code and see what result you get when viewing the PDF report with CheckBox in PDF Viewer. Example: -- Start here CONNECT dbname SET VAR vChkFile = (CHKFILE('PDF')) IF vChkFile <> 1 THEN MD PDF ENDIF CLS PRINT reportname + OPTION PDF + |FILENAME PDF\reportname.PDF + |SUBJECT report subject here ... + |TITLE report title here ... + |AUTHOR report author here ... + |KEYWORDS report keywords here ... + |EMBED_USED_FONTS ON + |OPEN OFF LABEL Done CLEAR VARIABLE vChkFile RETURN -- End here Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
