I agree with Kam, PDF Factory is made by Fineprint and their flagship product is Fineprint itself which intercepts all print jobs (i.e sets itself up as the default printer) then once printed into Fineprint you can do processing such as adding watermarks, making into a booklet etc etc. Both Fineprint and PDF Factory never fail on all OS's and sit sweetly with VFP.

Most of the Adobe stuff is a waste of money. I found something called PDF factory. It worked first time and has never failed. How many products can you say that about? It is very easy to set up. I have upgraded to new hardware several times, new operating system, etc and it always installs easily and works every time. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gene Wirchenko To: ProFox Email List Sent: Thursday, July 23, 2009 5:41 PM Subject: Printer Drivers: Screwing Things Up Hello: You work so hard at getting things to work. Then, something happens to give you grief. If it always happened, it would be easy to verify that your potential solution to it really does work. If it is occasional, you can not be sure that you have nailed it. I have one of those situations. I would like to compliment Adobe on how easy they make it to use their Adobe PDF printer driver. Unfortunately, since they do not make it easy, I can not very well compliment them. This USENET message of mine (<e59oh2111dikqj55oa91cdse0984htu...@4ax.com>) says quite a bit of it. Occasionally, I run into what appears to be a race condition between printing with the Adobe PDF driver and copying the PDF. I posted here about this. My potential solution is to have two Adobe PDF printer drivers and printing one copy to each Adobe PDF printer. Occasionally, it hangs up. My code is not buggy, at least to the extent that it does usually work. The problem may well be Adobe's code. Whatever. I need to assure myself that I have indeed solved the problem. What can cause trouble for a printer driver? I would like to force the problem to appear, at least fairly reliably, so that I can check my solution. Any ideas?
