Using Access 2007, I am trying to write a procedure to step through a
recordset of names and output a report in PDF format with relevant
information for each name.

Printing to a report with DoCmd.OpenReport works okay, but printing to PDF
generates an error message.

DoCmd.OutputTo objectType:=acOutputReport, ObjectName:=strRptName,
OutputFormat:=acFormatPDF, OutputFile:=strPDFFileName, AutoStart:=True,
OutputQuality:=acExportQualityPrint

Error 2501 The OutputTo action was canceled.

I could not find this error message on the Microsoft Support website.

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks.
 
I forgot to mention that I do have the PDF/XPS add-in installed and can save
a report in PDF format using MS Access menu commands. I need help automating
that process in VBA.
