Jan, Rob, your messages have been very helpfull. in MacOSX command "printerOutput" does a good job, printing a stack in PDF from revolution. Still, I wuold like to find solution for the windows platform without any external software. I wonder, if Quartam PDF Library, combined with command "import shapshot", can produce a PDF file similar to the one you get from the "printer output". Thanks a lot.
