You have to set the properties of the printer: in this way you could set not to prompt for the save as window and the location/name of the pdf. I'm looking for an example to show that.

Explore the printer windows, select the pdf-xchange printer and then the printing settings

and then in the save menu

You could use a macro to set the destination folder and name (pdf generated file has a predefined name, so I've to change and move the file)

public Sub Print_PDF(sPDFPath_src, sPDFPath_dest, sPDFName_dest, sReportID)

ActiveDocument.PrintReport sReportID, "PDF-XChange 3.0", false

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'If the folder not exists then -> create

If Not objFSO.FolderExists(sPDFPath_dest) Then

Set newfolder = objFSO.CreateFolder(sPDFPath_dest)

End If

PDFFullName = sPDFPath_dest & "\" & sPDFName_dest

'If the file exists then -> delete

If objFSO.FileExists(PDFFullName) then

objFSO.DeleteFile PDFFullName

End If

objFSO.MoveFile sPDFPath_src, PDFFullName

Set objFSO = Nothing

ActiveDocument.GetApplication.Sleep 2000

End Sub

Hi,

I have only tried to generate PDF files with the help of another PDF generator. I am also testing about the related programs these days. I want to look for a fine PDF processor whose way of processing is simple and fast to help me with the related work. It will be better if it is totally manual and can be customized by users according to our own favors. Do you have any ideas about it? Or any good suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Arron

Have a look at NPrinting.
