Adobe Acrobat Professional is the program which creates PDF files which you read with Adobe Reader. It runs as a program but it also looks like a printer to Windows so you print to it as if you were printing to a real bit of hardware. I see Matt suggests a different PDF creator and I shall look at that - thanks Matt - but I really hoped to avoid having two PDF creation systems having forked out the loot for Acrobat Professional 8 which does all the clever things. So if there is an answer to my original query that would be best but if not - well, I'll certainly try Matts suggestion ยทยทยท Andy > My files in archive: > WMOTOR, XMOTOR, W32ENGIN, MIXEDLIB, EU_ENGIN, WIN32ERU, WIN32API > > Can be downloaded here: > <a > href="http://www.rapideuphoria.com/cgi-bin/asearch.exu?dos=on&win=on&lnx=on&gen=on&keywords=bernie+ryan">http://www.rapideuphoria.com/cgi-bin/asearch.exu?dos=on&win=on&lnx=on&gen=on&keywords=bernie+ryan</a>
