   Pdf995 sets up a virtual printer. You can print any document to that   
   printer and it will be generated as a pdf. I generate paradox reports as   
   pdfs in Opal by enumerating printers, looking for the pdf995 printer,   
   setting that as the current printer and then printing a report to it.   
   You'll need to have code to check whether the pdf generation has   
   finished, once it's finished you use the mail type to attach it to an email.   
      
   To automatically print to pdf995, you write various parameters to an ini   
   file using opal, before printing the report to the pdf printer. There   
   have been numerous posts on this, just search for pdf995.
