Sami, There were 2 main reasons for my using the distiller.. One.. You can create multiple ports (ie each port can goto a different directory) and thus you could capture/assign those ports and then in R:Base you could direct output to any of those ports depending where you wanted to save the document(s). Second, Like I said I found the Adobe users site a jumble, but when I did find information on redirecting the default on the pdfwriter, the answer was that it could not be done. Finally I found a tech's response that outlined redirecting the default using the distiller.. so I went with that and it worked great.
If you need anything else, I am happy to help. I also look forward to your demo at the conference using the pdfwriter. Maybe you should post your work on the Adobe site too, it's definitly lacking some help in this subject. -- Frank Frank Conroy -- Systems Network Administrator F.J.

Frank - This is really interesting - you have just presented a totally different method of automating Adobe output from R:BASE than I was going to present at the developers' conference! I've used Razzak's method of configuring the Acrobat PDFWriter rather than the Distiller - I'll have to test out the differences and see if I can see some benefits one way or another. Did you have a particular reason you chose to configure the Distiller vs. the PDFWriter?
