Hello;

I have a vb program that converts web pages into PDF using the "PDF Maker" print driver installed with Adobe Professional 6.0

This print driver offers the nice option to "not prompt for file name" when the file is made.

However a client that wants to use my app is running the 5.0 version, which as far as i can tell.. does NOT offer the option to disable the filename prompt. Is there a way I can take JUST the print dirvers from 6.0 and install the printer on the 5.0 workstation? I cant seem to find where these dirvers physicaly reside on the OS.

Any help would be great.

Thank you. Mark
 
I don't know whether this applies to what your client is doing, but there is an option in the Printing Preferences for the Acrobat Distiller virtual printer for Acrobat 5 where you can tell the printer whether to prompt for a PDF file name.

Hello Rick

Thank you, Yes as I continued my research, I found that I could create a new port, and assing a physical path to my hard drive, from which I want the files to be saved.

Then, i just point the distiller to that port.

Its working now.
Thanks for the reply.
