Hi,
Just a thought - has anyone ever managed to get an IWB application working
with one of these "Print to PDF" programs, like Bullzip or Foxit Reader?

There are a lot of applications out there where you can print the contents
of a window to a PDF printer that actually makes a PDF file

although I've never tried it you should be able to set the default printer to what ever you want and then any printing should go to that printer.

Look in help file under PRTDIALOG,OPENPRINTER, and associated commands for additional info.

I'm not 100% sure if this is what you're after, Brian, but I have CutePDF installed, which can be selected as a normal printer, and I ran the code here:

and it did, indeed, print out as a pdf.

Kian,
Thanks for that. With a bit of messing, I've just got the first line of my IWGrid printing
to a PDF file. I'm using PrimoPDF, by the way
