Now this get a little harder but look in the help file.

Command Line Parameters

PDFCreator enables you to create documents via the command line
interface. Here are the different commands that PDFCreator supports:

/CheckInstance
If you use this switch PDFCreaor shows a message box with the
information about running instances of PDFCreator, PDFSpooler and
Transtool. You can combine this parameter with the switch /NoStart. If
you see the property "Local" there exists a local instance. Please check
the desktop, Systray or the Task Manager to find the local instance. If
you see only the property "Global" than there exists at least one
instance in one of your terminal server sessions. This switch is usefull
for debugging and for administrators to check if there is a running
instance of PDFCreator on a terminal server.
Example: PDFCreator.exe /CheckInstance

/ClearCache
Clears all PDFCreator temporary files. This is useful if PDFCreator will
not start because of a corrupt temp file.
Example: pdfcreator.exe /ClearCache

/DeleteIF
Delete the input file after converting. This parameter can only be used
in conjunction with the /IF parameter.
Example: pdfcreator.exe /IF"C:\description.ps" /OF"C:\description.pdf"
/DeleteIF

/IF<input-filename> /OF<output-filename>
Convert a postscript file to a PDF or bitmap. The /OF parameter must be
used in conjunction with the /IF parameter. To set the output file
format, include the file extension in the output file name. There is NO
space between the parameters and the file names.
Examples:
pdfcreator.exe /IF"C:\description.ps" /OF"C:\description.pdf"
pdfcreator.exe /IF"C:\description.ps" /OF"C:\description.tif"

/NoAbortIfRunning
Opens a new instance of PDFCreator without checking if the program is
already running. It is useful to combine this parameter with the
/NoProcessing parameter.
Example: pdfcreator.exe /NoAbortIfRunning

/NoProcessing
When PDFCreator is opened with the /NoProcessing option, all documents
that are sent to PDFCreator are not processed immediately. They are
stored in the print queue until PDFCreator is opened without the
/NoProcessing option.
Example: pdfcreator.exe /NoProcessing

/NoProcessingAtStartup: When you use this parameter, PDFCreator will
start without processing any documents. You can manually start
processing by going to the Document menu and selecting Print or by
unchecking the Printer Stop option in the Printer menu. The setting is
useful if you want collect some files first, then combine the files into
one and create a pdf.
Properties:
0 - Off (Default)
1 - On

/NoStart
When you use the /PF parameter, PDFCreator stays open after it's done
its task. The /NoStart parameter automatically closes PDFCreator after
it is done.
Example: pdfcreator.exe /NOSTART /PF"C:\help.doc"

/OpenOF
Open the output file after converting. This parameter can only be used
in conjunction with the /IF and the /OF parameter.
Example: pdfcreator.exe /IF"C:\description.ps" /OF"C:\description.pdf"
/OpenOF

/OptionsFile<option-filename>
Specifies the particular options file PDFCreator should use.
Examples: pdfcreator.exe /OptionsFile"C:\MyPDFCreator.ini"
(Hint: With this parameter (and a work around) you can use more than one
printer on a machine.)

/PF<filename>
Print a file with the standard program linking with the extension of the
file. In general, this option is useful in connection with Auto-Save
mode. It is not possible to use this parameter in conjunction with the
/OF parameter. There is NO space between the parameter and the file name.
Example: pdfcreator.exe /PF"C:\help.doc"
You can also use wildcards to create PDF's of all documents in a
specified folder.
Example: pdfcreator.exe /PF"C:\*.doc"

/ShowOnlyLogfile
Opens PDFCreator in the log file. No other windows are opened.
Example: pdfcreator.exe /ShowOnlyLogfile

/ShowOnlyOptions
Opens PDFCreator in the Options Panel. No other windows are opened.
Example: pdfcreator.exe /ShowOnlyOptions

Hi

we use pdf995. the process is to set up pdf995 so that
a) it alwasy prints to the same directory
b) it uses the name that is passed to it (by reportpro in our case)
then you can handle the output prpgrammtically - remember it is a
separate thread so you have to WAIT whilst the printing finishes.

on the grapevine, it seems that in 2.8 reportpro might finally gain
native pdf...
