RE: Creating PDF and the purpose of this list

Concerning PDF File Creation, there are really two issues that have been
addressed. The first is how to get PDF files up and running VERY quickly for
a very little investment in time and money. For that this discussion has
delivered a few very cheap and easy to implement tools to help solve an
immediate problem. This is a very relevant aspect of this list: "How to get
my problem solved now!" -- one that I have taken advantage of very often.

The second issue is the one that Shannon has addressed. That issue is "How
can I learn to do this myself?" For this issue you may not have an immediate
pressing need, but rather a desire to solve the problem yourself -- perhaps
with a different approach. While this does take time away from other work,
I've found many times that writing the code and routines myself expands my
abilities and allow my next hurdle to be fixed even faster -- and using
better techniques. 

Both issues are valid, and approach the same problem from different avenues.
I always appreciate this forum as a way to solve my immediate problems and
to learn from one another.
