    I would assume you need something from Adobe as PDFs are their Proprietary format.

    Some days when I think about the next 30 years or so of my life I am going to spend writing code, I happily contemplate stepping off a curb in front of a fast moving bus.

    Actualy it's not all that proprietary as OpenOffice.org Writer does export to PDF. Also Component One has an OCX/.NET control that will convert data into a PDF.

    As for doing it solely out of code, that's beyond me. You would need to know exactly how to write out the data....

    Now that I think about it, it shouldn't be all that difficult. I've got a PHP script that can do the same to HTML..... wonder if there is a way to convert it....

    no luck so far..

    well i've tried to convert a sample written in plain VB 6 but it doesn't run exactly. I was wondering the need to use third party software. If it is so...how do i go about using them. Maybe code the conversion would be a complex process. Grateful for da immediate help...
