     Are you letting the AnzioWIn do the PDF conversion?  Or are you
generating the PDF files in filePro and just letting AnzioWin direct the
filePro-generated PDF files to a Windows File Share?

     Most of the reports have simple type size changes (IE, 10 CPI, 12 CPI,
15 CPI) and a few other commands, like landscape printing.  Not all reports
go to laser printers, though.  Many reports are still printed on impact
printers, so my solution has to be able to accommodate either of those 2
types of printer.  

     Of course, I'm hoping NOT to have to go through and change dozens of
menus or, worse yet, have to create duplicate reports.  

     Several years ago I did test a couple of these reports printed to PDF's
using filePro PDF conversion, and the customer did say that those reports
are acceptable.  

Thanks!
