Yes. That is what I want to do. When I print a document I allso want to make

a PDF of the document so that I later can get back and print an exakt copy

of the same document. It is required for quality assurance and later export

to another environment.


I can't find a straitforward way to do this.

Demos\Delphi\Assorted\Printing\ReportHelper\ : Just print to the printer.

and http://www.trichview.com/resources/llpdflib/rvll_rtf2pdf.zip assumes you

have an rtf file.
