Environment: Microsoft Access 2002 and Acrobat 6.0 on Windows XP.

I'm writing a progran that creates a massive amount of reports to be sent via email to differents persons. I am trying to output these Access reports directly in PDF files without any intervention whatsoever from the user but the Adobe PDF driver keeps prompting me for a file name and then it opens Acrobat Reader.

How can I modify the driver's properties programmatically to prevent it from asking any question to the user and also to prevent it from opening Acrobat Reader after the PDF file is created without having to permanently modify the users default set up?

In other words: I want my program to run without leaving anything changed behind it on the user's station.

 
Hello,

any ideas how to

1) hide Window while generating pdf file?
2) don't open pdf file automatically?

Thanks
 
Hello Nibbler21!

About PDF opening automatically, read the March 20th post right before yours!!!

I don't think you can hide the "Print Window" while the PDF is being generated...
