Thanks for the intro, Chipp - I'm glad to see you're putting it to good use, just like Trevor Devore (Screensteps) and a number of other Rev-wielding developers. While the Revolution team added PDF export to version 2.9, it is platform specific - MacOSX has PDF export, Windows has XPS export and I believe it's Postscript export on Linux. Installing a PDF printer driver on your machine is, of course, an easy way to create PDF files through a simple 'print' command. Quartam PDF Library may not have a 'print card' command, but you get a lot more control over what goes where. Plus, it's written entirely in Revolution, so it works cross-platform, without relying on externals or the user installing extra software. And having seen what some users have put together in a really short time, I don't think there's anything wrong with pulling up your sleeves and doing some scripting :-) Jan Schenkel.
