Specifying output file to Acrobat Distiller

Darren

1/4/2006 10:00:00 PM

I am using Acrobat Distiller 5.0 in a batch process so I have the options set
on the Distiller print driver to not prompt for a output file name and not
show a preview.

I want to specify the output file from Axapta but the
printJobSettings.fileName( 'outputfile' )
setting as no effect. Acrobat just prints to a file called 'Report.pdf' on
the user's Desktop.

Has anyone found a way to specify the filename to Acrobat from Axapta?

Thanks,
Darren

I've discovered that the report's description is availble to the Distiller
and is used for the output file name in this case.

It's not pretty and I have to put the following lines in every report 's
init() that needs to print in batch. Also it doesn't appear to work if a
path is specified. Without a path it dumps the file on the Desktop.

pjs = element.printJobSettings();
if (pjs.fileName() && pjs.deviceName() == 'Acrobat Distiller' )
element.design().description( pjs.fileName() );

If anyone knows a better way I'd appreciate it.
