Wayne; It sounds like a case where you may want to entertain other or additional PDF tools which are available and are designed as development tools. If you are using this as an attended operation on the desktop there are tools available to assist with your file printing needs. If you are using this as an unattended server application, you need to make sure you are in compliance with the Adobe licensing, which does not permit the use of the desk top Acrobat product on the server. Adobe has a server version, but also many alternatives exist that may be appropriate for your needs and fit your budget. Active PDF has a suite of products that may solve your problems, but again we are not the only alternative.

There is no programmatic control of the Adobe PDF printer beyond what is provided by the OS. You need to print to a Postscript file, then send that PS file to Distiller for PDF creation. >I have looked at AdobePDFMakerX.dll but I am not sure if it is the >right tools to use and I have not been able to find any reference >info on it.
