How do you produce your HTML/PDF documents

Just wondering how often and how many of you push HTML/PDF documents out
of your filePro application.
Do you use filePro native syntax to produce HTML? How complex are your
HTML documents?
For what I have noticed, PDFs are very much in the tank since filePro
has provided
native drivers (or so it seems) to print PDF documents. I wonder if the
community
in general is OK with its limitations (please share what these are in
your case, if you
wish) have driven you to utilizing other means to produce your PDF
documents as well.
I once wrote a PHP script to parse filePro screen and produce the HTML
form matching
the screen. It took a couple of hours but I was trying to show a friend
of mine how simple
it would be to replace his screen scraper and simply show exactly what
he has, replicate
every screen and write the code to query through his filePro files.
We ended up developing the entire thing in SQL because of scaleability
cost and a few other
reasons he came up with ... don't ask me, I was just writing the code. ;-)
