Thanks for the reply Ron.
But i'm kind of a newbie in programming VB.Net, do you happen to know if i
could find a working sample on the net? Cause i've searched online but
nothing came up.

Printing the PDF File wouldn't be a problem as i use Adobe Acrobat to create
the files, its rather the drawing of the data at the correct location. But if
this could also be automated so that i wouldn't have to check the settings
and type the filename that would be really great.
I suppose these toolkits aren't for free, in that case this will not be a
possibility here, because i work with a non-profit organisation.

If I could have a working sample it would be outstanding.

PS: i use Visual Studio.Net 2003
