I've also done the same thing. Approximately 400 invoices a day all from a
backend administration website. However, we forked out a license to use the
PDF library.

Yes, well true. But, the point was there is the facility to use a COM object
instead of some multi-server or java kludge. If you can find a COM object to
do the task (Matt: you talked about using Access for your needs) then
that'll probably be the easiest/fasted solution on Win32 (short of paying
for PDF).
On a side note, is there some Adobe license which prevents people writing
Free for use PDF libraries? Or is it just by chance that the 2 that exist
require you to purchase a license?
