Hi @Daniza 

If you would like to enlarge the amount of data to store/show, you could think about a ListView, so you can have as many columns as you want, in order to store more information.

In this case, you could have a 1-D array in which you store the quantity of the various items (but you have somehow to remember the item name).

Again, a ListView seems to be the best control to use in this situation; you can look at here to see how this control works

Scripting.Dictionary could be useful in this case but sadly no one has made a proper wrapper for it in AutoIt as far as I know. @Daniza If you are feeling adventurous then you can install the Beta version of AutoIt and use the new Map datatype to store information (like quantity) related to an item. This should help you get started:

You can probably use the Word UDF to make a new document and export it as a PDF file, see this function: _Word_DocExport

Microsoft Word needs to be installed on the running computer of course, a free alternative might be the LibreOffice UDF that I have seen in this forum, not sure if that UDF supports export to PDF...
