Acrobat 6.0 command line

[rgbanse]

I'm trying to automate report distribution using Access.
I can create the *.snp and *.rtf files with no problem but I can't for the life of me get the command line to work!

Call Shell("""C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Distillr\acrodist.exe"" /O c:\files\testing.rtf c:\files\testing.pdf")

Any help appreciated
thx

Try using Distiller as a printer. Distiller doesn't process RTF files, that I know of. It processes PostScript.

If you're using VBA in Access, you can treat distiller like a printer, instead of trying to shell out to an executable.
