   I use PDF995 for generating pdf documents from Paradox. Go to their   
   website (Google pdf995) and you can buy a copy for $US9.95. Once you   
   install the license key, you won't get the "nag" screen.   
      
   However, you don't mention whether you wrote the application, whether   
   you're maintaining it or whether you just use it. Do you have the source   
   code?   
      
   Generating a pdf document from Paradox automatically is fairly   
   straight-forward. But you have to have the source code and you need to   
   know where to put the code to generate the pdf.   
      
   To print to a pdf like you would a report, using the File/Print menu,   
   you can just select pdf995 as the printer.
