Acrobat and VFP 5.0

[ericjb]

In Win 95 I use VFP to generate many reports using Acrobat 3.0.&nbsp;&nbsp;To customize the acrobat PDF filenames I use the KEYBOARD command to fill in the acrobat dialogs that come up.<br><br>I'm trying to migrate to Win NT 4.0 and Acrobat 4.0 but I can't get the KEYBOARD command to interact now with Acrobat.<br><br>Any thoughts?

haven't used it, so I can't comment, but Rick's stuff is always first rate.

Thanks for the info.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm still studying it but it doesn't allow for setting the internal title included as part of the pdf file.
