Dave: I do this on a daily basis using Adobe Distiller software. This software sets itself up as a printer in your printers folder. When you want to print to it, you select it through prnsetup and when it prints it creates a PDF file with the same name as the R:Base report that generated it.
I do it this way through R:Base command files: SET VAR vacrobat TEXT = 'Acrobat Distiller' -- -- this is the name of the "printer" as it appears in the Printer folder. I prefer to use the variable to reference later -- in my program. -- PRNSETUP .vacrobat -- this sets the printer to the Distiller software using the variable name -- OUTPUT PRINTER -- PRINT daly_mfg_rjct WHERE dispdate = .vprevious AND iql_smry = 'M' + AND iql_flag = 'Q' AND rej_area = 'INT' -- which creates a file name daly_mfg_rjct.pdf -- OUTPUT SCREEN -- RETURN Hope that helps.
