Help with CutePDF
I think I've read every post here regarding Access reports to PDF, but I
can't solve my problem. I have code that works fine to create a PDF file from a report using a unique name that becomes the PDF filename. What I need is an automated process that will create the PDF file and then open it for viewing. I can create it. I can open it for viewing. But I can't automate or override the CutePDF dialog box that wants me to press Enter to save the file. I have to press Enter, and then click another button on my form that opens the hyperlink. What I want is a single click that executes the job stream without user intervention required. What am I missing? |

I believe that's a limitation in CutePDF.
You could try PDF995 http://www.pdf995.com or you can take a look at what Stephen Lebans has at http://www.lebans.com/reporttopdf.htm -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!)

Thanks, Doug.
I'll give it a shot. This is new to me and I was happy I made it work. It was actually very easy, and I hope the switch to pdf995 is easy too. The price is right. ) Nancy "Douglas J.

I actually bought PDF995 for $9.95US and I'm very happy with it. It was easy
to setup to print from inside Access with a lot of control over the outcome. Gitche Gumee wrote: Thanks, Doug. I'll give it a shot. This is new to me and I was happy I made it work.

Hi Joe.
I tried PDF995 today, and unless I pay the $9.95 I'll get the popup ads which defeat the purpose of trying to do what CutePDF can't. It's not that I can't afford it, but I'm at the point where I'll be reinventing the wheel for my little enterprise which involves only a single user...my husband. Anyway, I've automated it to three clicks, which I (he) can live with. 1) generate the report, programmatically build the PDF filename, "print" to CutePDF, and close the report. 2) Save the PDF. 3) Open the PDF for viewing or printing or emailing. It's good enough for now. "Joe Cilinceon" wrote: I actually bought PDF995 for $9.95US and I'm very happy with it.

Another you might want to check out is PrimoPDF. It is another free PDF
system though I have it I've not messed with it much. You can download it at www.PrimoPDF.com It does have a popup that gives the option to print to screen, printer, etc. It also has the option to launch or not lauch the viewer after its finished printing.
