Hi

I hoping someone can help me with this. I didn't see anything that might help.

I'm using CutePDF Writer program

This is what i want to accomplish (hopefully in a Macro):

1) print the report as pdf
2) each report will be saved under directory (Region, Department, Manager
etc.)
3) if the directory isn't available then create it and save the file under
the new directory else find the directory and save under the correct
directory.
4) Print the report on the printer

Hopefully that make sense.

Thanks

This requires a different PDF writer (it's free from SourceForge) but it will
work...

To use the PDF writer as you have indicated you need to access it's API
(assuming that CutePDF even has an API that is exposed). Basically you are on
your own here.

Hi Jim.

thanks for your quick reply!!!!

I didn't want to hear that but thanks. I'll have to look into api for this
program and maybe there is something on their website that will help.

I may have to may a recommendation to the manager to change to a different
program for this project to work.

Thanks again for you help.

Hi Jim,

My manager has asked me to do some research on adobe. The company has
version 6 and version 8. Could you direct me to a
website or link that might help me with coding(programming) for adobe.

I appreciate all your help.

Thanks Keith

Both Adobe and Cute have an exposed API but you only get it with the Pro
version. Right from Ken's web site...

Unlike Adobe Acrobat and CutePDF, which both require pro versions to create
PDF's via code, PDFCreator is completely free!
