OK anyone have a heads up on printing to PDFs?

2013-03-26 Thread Stephen Russell
My old SBT client asked for this and I don't have a clue how to do it in Fox. Current idea is to have SBT / AccPac do an invoicing run sending the actual reports to a dead print queue. I then come in afterwards and reprint to PDF for each customer, and email them out as well. Any ideas? TIA

No but the hundreds of clients that they have are supported in the same manner. The initial setup is done via on site visit and coordination with their in house IT staff, if they have. From there on out, updates run thru the application make any necessary changes to the tables/indices.
