The 'standard' way of doing it is to install a pdf printer like pdfcreator.
You just run your report and have it print to that "printer".

There is a lot of sample code out there for this.

Subject: Writing to a PDF form


The situation:
-------------
- There's a 37-page PDF form that someone created
- Turns out 1/3 of the fields come from a report my VFP9 application
generates
- Users think it's normal to re-type my report into the PDF form
- I think otherwise...

The question:
------------
A PDF form must have fields and/or tags that I can look for and plug my
values in, no?

The caveat:
----------
The PDF form will already exist and will most likely be partially filled. It
is not an option to re-generate the PDF form from the app. I simply want to
alter an existing PDF file.


Has anyone done something like this? Is it at all doable? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Henry
