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 :-(.
