Hi,
I'm using Visual FoxPro 9.0 and Amyuni PDF Converter 2.50f. When I create some reports from application I have black 'boxes' in the PDF file instead text. I had the same problem with version 2.50d-3.

I have same issue. This post is similar to the one titled "pdf converter under vfp 9". They gave an explanation and recommended using 8.0 instead of 9.0 for reportengine behavior. I need the 9.0 behavior - that's when it gives the black boxes (except in landscape mode it seems to work ???). Anyway, they recommend setting it to postcript emulation if you need 9.0 behavior. I have done that but my results are a chopping pdf with lines just being jumbled at times. I hope there is a solution for us vfp9 guys who want the 9.0 reportengine behavior.

Hello,
As explained in the following post: http://www.amyuni.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1083
When using "Set Report Behavior = 90" everything in the report is converted to images. This is why you need to enable postscript simulation when printing from some operating systems like 2000 and XP.
Postscript simulation is needed when printing specific kind of images like images with transparency or different layers.
if you set the report behavior to 80 you will not need postscript simulation.
You mentioned that you are still getting bad output even with Postscript simulation on, this is not expected, you should get a good output, are you using version 2.50f?

choppy
I'm setting postscript on and having to embed the fonts for any of it to work. If I don't do both, everything is still black.
I have played around with different resolutions. 300 seems choppy. 600 seems to make parts of the pdf unreadable like it chops characters/lines off. In general I find lines (perhaps that may have had the font set to 18 or 24) would just be cut in half when I view or print them.
(I have noticed that if I don't turn postscript on that if I print a series of reports in the same routine to a single pdf, portrait pages show the black but the landscape pages work ???)
