Hi Steve,

There's really no way to produce a PDF file without a printer
driver. Outputting a report to a bit map or meta files is creating
and image file. PDF's are not image files. They are editable
documents. The internals of a correctly structured PDF file are
quite extensive. Leave this up to the PDF printer driver
developers.

Of course it is correct, that PDF files normaly are no image files.
But I did not need e editable PDF. You can get a PDF file with only
one picture in it and so you have a PDF wich is not editable.
But it not need to be a PDF. All what i want is a file that includes a
identical copy of a report. This file has to be view with IE or
Acrobat Reader.
So a possible solution for example is to create a jpg or gif from a
report. The Access own snp-format is such a solution, but it can only
be shown with the snapshot-viewer :-(.

Stephen Lebans has a utility that embeds the output of Snapshot Format inside an
RTF file so that it can be viewed with any Word processor that handles RTF
files.
