I can't seem to get this right.
I need to save a CSV file as a PDF file.
How is this done?
Thanks in Advance!

Hi Tom,

you may need to put the file into a field and then -> open printing to pdf...

Thanks Klaus,
I'll Give that a try!

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.
