Many people are not aware that vTask Studio includes PDF capabilities as a step Action.  It has the ability to generate PDF documents with just a single step.  What's more, it can output PDF without needing any additional libraries or programs (even Adobe isn't required).  

The

Create Adobe PDF

action is hidden away under the File category (because there was no other good place to put it).  Like all features in vTask Studio, this is fully available for your compiled EXE scripts too, so you can include PDF reporting capabilities with your distributed scripts.

The latest download includes a sample file that shows how to make a simple PDF document.

This PDF was generated from a vTask script.
It only takes a single action to create PDF files in vTask Studio.

You can take any text and create an Adobe document.  You can also use a RUN command to immediately open the new document.
