Re: Programming to "Print&quo t; using CUTE PDF!

Thansk to you all.

This sounds like a great solution.

Could someone give me a sample of the code that i would uise to edit the .ini file? I have
never done much in Code in Access, concentarting mosty on macros.

Thanks a lot

John

Re: Programming to &quot;Print&quo t; using CUTE PDF!

I have downloaded the Win2PDF. It installed easily and the simple
commands work fine.

For example:
SaveSetting "Dane Prairie Systems", "Win2PDF", "PDFFileNam e", PathName

works just fine, but the commands that set the registry items are not
working. I pasted their code in, but when I call the routines:

SaveWin2PDFDwor d "file options", 0x02

It either does not work at all or says it's the wrong type. How do
you get the hex to work?

Their samples are VB, is that the problem? It would be great if
someone had some sample code similar to that which the earlier poster
put up for pdfFactory.

Thanks,

Tony

Re: Programming to &quot;Print&quo t; using CUTE PDF!

John:

Our PDF and Mail Library for Access may be an option. It supports
outputting PDF files using any of the following drivers:

Adobe drivers (versions 3-6)
Win2PDF
pdfFactory
PDF 995
PDF 4 U
Amyuni PDF Converter

Certainly one could spend hours getting the programming right with any
particular driver, our library provides a quick, in-expensive solution to
"automate" output with any of those drivers, including securing files (PDF
Pro Plus edition), merging files, adding book marks etc. Code is as simple
as:

Const PDFENGINE_ADOBE _PDF = 2

Dim objPDF as New PDFClass
With objPDF
.ReportName = "Your Report"
.ReportWhere = "Some SQL Filter"
.PDFEngine = PDFENGINE_ADOBE _PDF
.OutputFile = "c:\some dir\some file.pdf"
.PrintImage
Debug.print .Result
End With

You'll find the library on our web site in the developer tools area.
