Re: MI-L Layout to *.pdf file

Hi THuan,

Does pdf995 ask you for a file name? There are a number or progams that seem to print pdfs, but only distiller that allows you to automatically print to pdfs witout interaction like distiller, viz. when you print, it does it to a file that is automatically named, and does not repquire the uers to press OK or whatever. This is necessary for automated printing (One program i wrote is being use to generate 9,000 or so pdfs - and they don't want to have to type a name in for each). Abobe Acrobat with Distiller works OK, but has a lot of features that are not needed for this purpose.

Hi,
I also have have a program that automates printing and is used for the
automatic generation of pdf's.  It doesn't actually need any code at all,
as I rename the layout window to be a unique name before printing in all
cases, and then distiller just produces the pdf of that name by default.
Does anyone else use options other than distiller for the automatic
generation of pdfs?
