Hi Ron,
I find the *.pdf files in the Reports under the TMG program folder, you
might want to look there.

However, just did a test with a small vcf printed to pdf with interesting
results as to file size:

Wholly Genes PDF Writer:
PDF file size: 3545 KB

The very same chart to pdf995 printer (works the same way):
PDF file size: 431 KB

I can't see any differences in quality of the pdf (on screen or printed)...

So you might want to have a look at pdf995, which is free if you're willing
to put up with promo websites each time you use it or available without them
for a small fee here:
http://www.pdf995.com

Just my 2 cents (Australian <G>)
