o7: Pic field contents to JPG, PNG, etc file

[Mike Matthews]

Size is always fine, Mrs Matthews has never sai..., oh the PDF.  No, size is good, as I was using the Adobe Acrobat driver making API calls to it.  But I had to install it which may be a bummer in many cases.

How about emailing the Omnis report as a .ODT file, export it and then you reload it perhaps.

We are gripped by the big thaw, so not much white stuff anymore, been fun, plenty mulled VC this time of year and she has wooly slippers and bedsocks and me of course.  :-)

Apple and me; the little white round ball thing can't even last outside, let alone when hell freezes over.
