Print stack as PDF

[paolo mazza]

Jan, Rob,
your messages have been very helpfull.
in MacOSX command "printerOutput" does a good job, printing a stack in PDF
from revolution.
Still, I wuold like to find solution for the windows platform without any
external software.
I wonder, if Quartam PDF Library, combined with command "import shapshot",
can produce a PDF file  similar to the one you get from the "printer
output".
Thanks a lot.
