How to suppress the "Save to PDF file" dialog box ??

[steve728]

How do I suppress the "Save to PDF file" dialog box when sending a print job to the default printer Acrobat Distiller? I'm using Access 2000, ADO, VBA. Would someone please provide me a code sample that will allow me to print a automatically name file name to a designated path without having to deal with the above referenced dialog box?

Any alternate ideas if my first objective is not possible.

Hey Steve,

I know that there is a setting "Prompt for Adobe PDF filename" - but I imagine that this setting is set by individual pc, so what you're asking may be tricky if you're planning to do this for several users (but if it's just for you then you're set!). Printers and Faxes (or Control Panel - Printers and Faxes) - right click on Adobe PDF and select properties. Look for Printing Preferences in the General tab.

To go about it programatically, your answer may be in here:

(it's code to automatically create a pdf).

Hope that helps!
