I am printing out access reports using Adobe PDF printer driver PDF Writer. I
understand that I can't change the output folder programmatically, but can I
read the value of the output folder property. I tried using
application.printer.port. The value given is "My Documents\*.pdf" but this is
not the output folder for the active printer. I also checked
application.printer.devicename to make sure the correct printer was the
default. Thanks.
 
I'm thinking that its somewhere in the registry. I'd contact Adobe for the
specific information. If its in the registry its a very simple thing to read
the value from there.
 
I found out that the port is set separately from the output folder. It seems
that I need to make sure that when I create an adobe printer, I need to use
the same folder for port as I want to use for output and then the port
property will reflect the output folder info.
 
That is the best utility download I think I've ever seen. I've been using
VBA and access for about 5 years now and thats the first time I've seen it.
Muchas Gracias to Mr. Lebans, pdfs are my favorite.

Actually, I had it in mind to look into further liscensing from Adobe, and
this might deter that. Thanks for the post

Incorrect. Unless you need something really interesting Stephen's
utility *WILL* save you huge licensing costs.
