Answer:
I think you should try to find a PDF tool, trapping a printer port and creating the PDF instead of.
I use a tool, named PDF995, which does this, but interactively, and on Windows systems only. Don't know if it works in background, and/or on other systems.

Answer:
In BW >=3.0 you can install the Crystal Reports Server. Then you could create Crystal Reports reports and the conversion to PDF, RPT, WORD, ... will be automatically.

Answer:
Adobe also offers PDF creation solutions which are compatible/certified w/ SAP. They have information on their website about these SAP solutions for PDF creation. Though this is not a cheap solution.
Alternatively, you may be able to use the default PDF creation which SAP has in a function module. I know we had a consultant who created a program which runs in the background and generates invoices (or something) to PDF files, w/ automatic file naming. I don't know if you could incorporate that into the reporting agent, but it might be an option.

Answer:
Install a new printer with a PDF comatible print driver. Schedule a background job to generate the report and print it to this new printer. You should then have ur report in PDF format.
Hope that helps...
Answer:
It should have been create a new printer with PDF compatible driver, rather than install a new printer. You can get a PDF compatible driver from ADOBE (Distiller) or there are a few of them available free on the net.
