MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / August 2005Print Directly To PDF
What line of code would I use in word to print a document directly to a PDF without getting in information form the user. The variables that I would want to set in code would be: For the PDF to be saved in the same location as the original document. I want to set the name of the PDF in code The name of my PDF printer is: "Adobe PDF" I just want to put a button on a word document that prints the current to a PDF storing it in the same location as the original document and with a file name that I set in code. Thankyou in advance for your help. If you're using Acrobat 6 -- 1. Add a reference to AdobePDFMaker to your VBA project. 2. Use the instruction: AdobePDFMaker.ConvertToGelatoPDF The PDF will have the same name as the Word document, and be put in the same folder. You can then rename it as you need. To make sure you get no prompts from Acrobat, a) Make sure the Word document is saved, and b) check that there is no existing PDF file that will get overwritten. > What line of code would I use in word to print a document directly to a [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Thankyou in advance for your help.

There's no free source of documentation that I know of. You can see the methods of the object by using Tools > Macros and selecting PDFMaker from the 'Macros in' dialog. Then experiment :) Earlier versions of Acrobat had an SDK that you could download for free. That provided some documentation, some of which is still relevant. But with Acrobat 6 the SDK is no longer free, and I'm too stingy to pay for it. And in any case, they're now up to version 7, which is a different kettle of fish entirely. > Where can I find more documentation on the AdobePDFMaker object with its > properties & methods?

Just curious becase the question came up a bit ago in the Access newsgroup and the responses (including mine) dealt with printing to the designated PDF printer. > There's no free source of documentation that I know of.

I tried that but it still pops up with the save as dialog for the pdf. I did exactly what you said added the reference and then used the line: AdobePDFMaker.ConvertToGelatoPDF Before I was using the below: ActivePrinter = "Adobe PDF" Application.PrintOut this essentially does the same as you suggested but it does not require the reference. I just need to be able to convert it to pdf without any use interaction whilst giving it a name and setting the location for it to stored. It storing it in the same location as the original document and using the same name would do fine. Thank you again. > If you're using Acrobat 6 -- > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > > > Thankyou in advance for your help. You'll get a prompt if the word document has never been saved -- apart from that, don't know. The method works for me. But it's all undocumented, so anybody's guess. >I tried that but it still pops up with the save as dialog for the pdf.

I am now finding that some people machines can not find the referance to: AdobePDFMaker They have the excat same version and installation of Adobe Acrobat Distiller 6.0. When I go in to add the referance on their computer the AdobePDFMaker does not come up on the list. How can I force the computer to find the referance? DO you know where it is located on the C drive so I can add it manually? They all seem to have: AdobePDFMakerX but I cannot get the same functions to work.
