Dennis,
What version of Acrobat are you using? If it is 5.0, here are the
directions for automating pdf reports. If you are using under 5.0,
Razzak had posted some instructions for editing the registry to
accomplish this.
Acrobat 5.0 under Windows 2000 Professional & Server
open the printers folder.. Right click on the distiller printer and open
printer preferences
Click the Adobe PDF settings tab
Un-check the defaults of the following 3,
- View result in acrobat
- Prompt for the PDF filename
- Ask to replace existing PDF file
Then Click Apply and close the window
Now by default all pdf output will goto the Current users Desktop
(..\documents & settings\{user}\desktop) To change the default path
Right click the distiller printer and click on properties
Click on the ports tab
You will see the port for the distiller with the default directory..
which can not be changed.. so simply click add port.. double click on
PDF port, and select the default directory for your PDF output.
Back in the ports window.. check off the new port as the default port
(you can also delete the old one if you want)
Now from RBase you can print reports directly to that folder after
changing printers to distiller and simply out pri..

Subject: Batch printing to the PDF writer
Hello,
I am trying to batch print reports to the PDF writer.
The problem is that the PDF driver asks for a file
name for each report. Is there any way to send a file
name to the PDF writer to avoid this?
Thanks,
Dennis Acton
