Hi.

I am trying to find out which version of powerbuilder
provides pdf as 'saveas' option.

Provided that I am not in a position to use ghostscript and
XLS-FO.

SaveAs PDF started with PB9. It requires Ghostscript. Ghostscript is a free 
open source program. Any other solution is going to require a purchase.

PB12.Net will have native pdf capability.  There is screenshot of a pdf 
created that way on http://www.sybase.com/powerbuilder12beta under the Demo 
& Screenshot gallery.

Will you be able to encrypt pdfs from PB12?
