Great question! The Pvx docs caution that the Report Writer "is not suitable for character-based systems". And from what I recall, lends itself best to files maintained within the Data Dictionary. I'm curious why no one asked what types of data files you were using nor the type of machine, so I'm curious why no one took the time to inquire. Assuming you are using a Windows machine, you might easily slip in the *PDF* file handling feature into your existing code and take advantage of the numerous controls including fonts.
