In VFP7 I was trying to generate a PDF file by using Adobe PDFWriter and REPORT FORM xxx TO PRINT. This works fine in a prg or.exe, but I want to use it as part of a web service. When I create a multi-threaded DLL containing the same code and call it, I get error 1001 - feature not available. Does this mean one can never call a report form from a DLL or am I being stupid? If it's the former, any ideas on how to return a PDF to a web client formatted as if it came from a VFP report?

Out of Microsoft Visual Foxpro (VFP), I can print a report to the printer “PDFCreator”. I determine the PDF Creator output directory for the pdf output file in the PDF creator options. Windows 7 hp drivers. This works perfect! My need is to determine the pdf file name before every printing process. This time, the file names are like by the set tokens.
