I regularly create maps and print them to pdf files. I have Acrobat 5.0
full version. If you use Distiller you can use the default print to
directory as your desktop and choose for it not to prompt you for the path.
The key is to create a workspace that properly defines the map and the
layout properties, including the printer properties. Here is a few lines of
code that work for me. I use this in a production environment as 100's of
these are created nightly.
' ^^^^^ Print District 410 to pdf on web ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If FileExists("Y:\HD\Maps\NobHill\District_410.pdf") Then
Kill "Y:\HD\Maps\NobHill\District_410.pdf"
End If
Rename file "C:\Documents and Settings\Shenry\Desktop\layout.pdf" as
"Y:\HD\Maps\NobHill\District_410.pdf"

Can anyone tell me how to convert a map layout to a *.pdf file to view in
Adobe Acrobat?
Thanks!
