Hi Tom,

Re: How to Save a CSV file as a PDF File
My first Q would be where your CSV stuff is originating.
If it is originating in a Table Field for instance, you can probably 'spit it out' directly to PDF without having to do a round trip through a CSV file.

Hi,
I use, as Klaus mentioned, "open printing to PDF" all the time. That command simply prints whatever is on-screen, creating a PDF file instead of sending to a printer. All the normal printing gadgets are still valid, "formatForPrinting", "printMargins", "printPaperorientation", whatever. Check out the dictionary for other capabilities.
