Hi Ron,
If your idea is to use the ReportToPDF solution for other applications
then
I am afraid it its simply not possible. The key here is the Snapshot
format.
In a nutshell, it is similiar to the output of your printer driver Spool
files. In order to simlulate this with other applications, you would have
to
either:

1) Using Win2K or higher, enable saving of the printer spooler files.
or
2) Purchase and install an EMF Printer driver.

ReportToPDF was written for Access only.

Never fails! Two days after I deploy there is a new version. :-)

Stephen thanks again for the generous contributions of your time and
expertise to the Access developer community. I haven't tested the new
version, but this is exactly what we have needed in Access for quite
some
time. I had gotten tired of telling my customers that they needed to
buy
a
PDF maker or download a freeware solution and then install it on every
PC
that used my app. Then having to fight with code that could work using
a
zillion different PDF creators in various version levels. It was a
nightmare!!

I am on a different project now, but you can be sure that the next time
that
I need PDF output from Access, or when we upgrade my last project I will
be
using your solution.

As an aside can you point me to where I might be able to get additional
information on the Enhanced Metafile format, and how I might be able to
create them from other applications like Word, Excel, VB, etc. Just
wondering out loud ;-} Always need to be willing to look at new ways to
get
things done, and be ambidextrous in this business to survive.

Posted a new and improved version of the ReportToPDF project tonight.
http://www.lebans.com/reporttopdf.htm

Major change to project. No more MDE! Core logic is now contained
within
a
standard Windows DLL named StrStorage.dll produced in C++. New version
of
the DynaPDF library. Neither the DyanPDF DLL or the StrStorage DLL
require
Registration or a Reference to be set in your MDB. Solution now works
with
all versions of Access. Several minor bug fixes and huge increase in
execution speed.

No references, no Registration ... absolutely great!

Two little hints (bugs?).

1.
In my german A97 your Code to output a snapshot-file didn't work because the
right format string for the outputTo method is "Snapshot-Format(*.snp)" with
the dash between Snapshot and Format!
Up to A2000 the string didn't need the dash.

2.
Thera are a few unnecessary references in your mdb.
