| I need to print to the "Adobe PDF" print driver and have the PDF file
| created without user interaction.  The purpose is to have a programming
| language print a series of reports to PDF files automatically.
| So I need a way to suppress the print dialog box that normally appears
| when you print to the "Adobe PDF" print driver and also to specify a
| destination name.  Note that the destination name does not need to be
| unique to each file; if I can have all PDFs that are generated go to the
| same destination folder and filename that is fine.

| We have Adobe Distiller 7.0, Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional and Adobe
| Designer 7.0.  The print driver is called "Adobe PDF".

| I thought the joboptions file might handle this, but there is no option
| for filename.

| I thought the following registry keys could do this, but they seem to
| control only the default destination folder, rather than allowing a
| folder and filename.
| HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\7.0\DefaultPDFOutput
| HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl

| I tried setting the following attributes within the programming
| language.  The print did then proceed without displaying the print
| dialog box, but the resulting PDF files are unusable; Acrobat reports
| them as corrupted when I try to open them.
| - FileName (sets path and name for the file to be created by the printer)
| - DocumentName (sets name to be displayed in the Printer status dialog
| that lists the files being printed on the printer)
| - PrinterName (sets the name of the Windows printer to print to)

| Note that setting these three attributes does allow printing to succeed
| with Amyuni PDF print driver.  (We are going away from Amyuni due to
| instability issues.)


| Any hints would be appreciated.

| Thanks.
| Dale
