TMG presently does not create reports in PDF format (I think it may be on
the wish list for future versions). But TMG can cause MS/Word 2000 (or
other word processors/programs) to start with a generated report after the
report has been generated within TMG. This is called Dynamic Data Exchange
(DDE) and if configured properly can be very nice. See the TMG manual,
pages 38-39 under Destination), and 305 for more information. If you have
other questions, let us know.

Hope this helps -
