We have been requested by our Accounting folks to move quarterly report printing to pdf output to eliminate the need to print hardcopy reports.  Does anyone have experience in doing this and how were you able to make it happen?   We run D3 V10.2 on a Windows 2012 server.------------------------------Cory BelgradeSr ManagerOne America------------------------------

I am trying to clarify the upgrade process as some of the documentation I have read some documentation that says to do a fresh install with new drives and that the installer will wipe out existing partitions.  I have read other bits that indicate that you can upgrade with data in place.  I would like to upgrade with data in place (with a good backup of course) but before I destroy something I just want to be sure.  Any success stories appreciated.
