Bob,

For windows systems - modify for *nix

There are a few options to avoid using pfpostprint.

1. Create a batch file:
Cd t:\pfspool ( directory where document is created
C:\progra~1\printwiz30\printwiz *.txt \pdf (converts all files with the extension txt to a pdf

The batch file can be executed from a menu batch file or from a called from a system command at @done in your processing table.

2.  from your processing table:
Chdir - to the directory where your files are being created

 qq="path/printwiz30/printwiz  *txt /pdf /quiet"   (path is the location of the printwiz directory)

system qq

Either way you will create your pdf files.
