Razzak, Can you give me the registry entries for Acrobat 5.0 under Windows 2000. I tried using these instructions for Acrobat 4.0 on NT, but the registry does not contain an "acrobatpdfwriter" key or sub folder on my machine when I go down from the root of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\adobe

Thom, Ask and you shall receive! A detailed technical document with examples on "Automating PDF Reports using R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++) for Windows" will be posted shortly at From The Edge: http://www.razzak.com/fte Meanwhile, here's how to update registry entries to automate that task. (15 easy steps) 01. Restart Windows NT 4.0 and log in as Administrator. 02. Exit from all applications. 03. Choose Start > Run. 04. Type "regedit" in the Open text box and click OK. 05. Choose Registry > Export Registry File, specify a location and name for a backup registry file in the Export Registry File dialog box, and then click Save. 06. Open to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat PDFWriter key (i.e., folder). 07. Right-click the Acrobat PDFWriter Key and choose New > String Value from the pop-up menu. 08. Type "PDFFileName" for the new value. 09. Right-click the newly created string value PDFFileName and choose Modify from the pop-up menu. 10. Type the name of the PDF file you want automatically generated in the Value Data field, followed by an asterisk, and then press Enter. For example, type "Mypdf.pdf*." If you want to save the PDF files to a specified location, type the path to that location, followed by an asterisk. For example, type "C:\MyPDFFiles\Mypdf.pdf*." Note: If an asterisk is not added to the end of the file name, Acrobat PDFWriter will delete the string value after using it. 11. Right-click the Acrobat PDFWriter Key and choose New > String Value from the pop-up menu. 12. Type "bDocInfo" for the new value. 13. Right-click the newly created string value PDFFileName and choose Modify from the pop-up menu. 14. Type "0" (zero) in the Value Data field, and then press Enter. 15. Exit from the Registry Editor. (Your changes will be saved automatically.) Hope that helps. Have Fun!
