Need help with printing Crystal Report into a .pdf file from VB 1

[20132]

I need to print Crystal Report into a .pdf file from VB6 application silently in the background and save the file on the drive.
Can someone post a sample of the code. This question has been frequently asked, but I couldn't find a straight answer to it.

Thank you

Hi,

You can print a Crystal Report or Access Report in to a PDF file using "ACG PDF & Mail" component. Here is the sample code . Tryit out....

Dim objPDF As New PDFClass

With objPDF
.ReportName = strrptname ' Your Report Name
.ImageType = "PDF"
.PDFNoShowPropDlg = True
.outputfile = "c:\Reports\" &strrptname & ".pdf"
.PrintImage
lngResult = .result
End With

Thank you very much!!!
Can you please explain how to add the "ACG PDF & Mail" component. I am currently using Distiller to print from PowerPoint to PDF in my app. I've tryed running your code using the Distiller, but got an error message: "PDFClass not defined".

Get a PDF printer driver and set that printer as the Default Printer. One that I use that can automtically name the files as printed is DocuCom PDF Driver.
