Hi Paulo, If your app runs on MacOSX, you can set the 'printerOutput' to a filepath, and that will churn out a PDF file. However, this doesn't work on Windows or Linux: the Windows engine produces XPS files [Microsoft's PDF rival format], and the Linux engine produces postscript files. Quartam PDF Library is not capable of turning just about any stack into a PDF file - there are a lot of Revolution properties that make it hard to interpret what to do (for instance, should I go for the literal interpretation of certain property combinations or try and mimick the way Rev renders it on each platform and OS version?) And admittedly, a few more items need to be put in place (blending, clipping, arbitrary fonts, htmlText support, etc.) before I can even start on that generic PDF conversion. Hope this clarified it, Jan Schenkel. Quartam Reports & PDF Library for Revolution <http://www.quartam.com> ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time."
