Output Access Reports to PDF writer - Adobe Acrobat 5 1

[BelindaBall]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help me, we have a VB application which uses an Access 97 database to produce PDF files. When we run Acrobat 3.1, we can use the __pdf.ini to specify what the files should be called and where the files should be written. This allows us to automatically produce uniquely named PDF files in a directory of our choice.

My problem is that when we upgrade Adobe Acrobat to version 5, the above production of reports does not work. The user gets prompted. Does version 5 use a different ini file? Do I need to set some other setting to allow the above use of __pdf.ini?

I can get round the problem by setting the Acrobat version 5 output port to the required directory and then using VB code to rename the files to the unique name required.

Anyone have any ideas......

Thanks in advance,
Belinda

Hi Belinda,

I cannot recommend

http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?spid=703&sfid=2533&newpid=703

highly enough in this respect. The code contained therein is for Acrobat 4 but can be easily modified for Version 5.

HTH.
