code to use Acrobat menu?
in [Forms]
|
From: Rondy on 18 May 2010 18:18 Hi all... In Access 2007, is there code I can use to access Acrobat menu functions? I have a form button that used to change the user's printer to PDFWriter (A2K, Acrobat 5.0), print the form, then reset user's printer to previous default. This button was working fine in A'07 version as well (mod printer name to Adobe PDF of course), but suddenly it isn't working anymore. Not only is it not working, it's not even error-handling correctly--just prints out a hard copy on user's default printer with no error message or any indication of what went wrong. I would rather reprogram the button to utilize the new built-in Acrobat menus, since my button usually also spellchecks, changes document date, and various other last-minute on-print-type functions in addition to creating a PDF... but I can't seem to find any documentation!?! Any help is appreciated... TIA.

From: Rondy on 19 May 2010 13:51 Found the answer (use DoCmd.OutputTo... choose acFormatPDF... can even specify complete file path/name if saving directory known... and this method creates the PDF about 5 times faster than using built-in Acrobat options!).
