Gene,
I use the bullzip control (you will need to download the latest bullzip
version):-
*********************************************************************
outputdirectory="c:\cbs2dev\bullzip\"
outputfilename=c:\cbs2dev\bullzip\test.pdf
defaultprintername=set('printer',2)
sprintername = [Bullzip PDF Printer]
oprintersettings = createobject("bullzip.PdfSettings")
oprinterutil = createobject("bullzip.PdfUtil")
oprintersettings.printername = sprintername
with oprintersettings
.setvalue("output",outputfilename)
.setvalue("ConfirmOverwrite", "yes")
.setvalue("ShowSaveAS", "yes")
.setvalue("ShowSettings", "never")
.setvalue("ShowPDF", "never")
.setvalue("Target", "printer")
.setvalue("Title", "Invoice")
.setvalue("Subject", "Report generated at "+dtoc(date()))
.setvalue("UseThumbs", "yes")
.setvalue("Zoom", "50")
.writesettings(.t.)
endwith
set printer to &sprintername
then run :-
report form YourReportName to printer noconsole
set printer to &defaultprintername
*********************************************************************
This works for me for loads of automatic pdf creation procedures.
