Other than the fact that Adobe would have a "kinniption fit" if they knew
you were running web server based process or server based process to print
ot pdf :-)
take a look at the stuff from www.activepdf.com
Their server based "print to pdf" may provide a solution for you. You didnt
mention you needed a FREE solution, but activepdf stuff isnt free, but
really reasonable.
Other NON Adobe blessed approaches are:
Have VISIO print to a postcript file (install a PostScript printer driver on
the server) on the machine and have Adobe "Distiller" watch that folder, and
it will create a pdf for you, then CFFile could move it around where ever
you like.
Likely your not getting support on the Adobe related forums is that Adobe
would hammer the list owners (who are usually in very tight with Adobe) for
recommending a license violating solution/work-around. Other than the active
pdf tools and others - what your doing likely violates Adobe's license of
PDF Writer and Acrobat.
Glad to talk off list with you on this if you wish too.
