I'm looking for a way to detect and change printing
preferences for a printer in vba code. In particular when
I change a report's printer to "Adobe PDF", I want to
make sure that for this particular printing of this
report I have the printing preferences set to:

- do not view Adobe PDF results
- do not prompt for Adobe PDF filename
- do add document information
- do send fonts to Adobe PDF
- do delete log files for successful jobs
- do not ask to replace existing PDF file
- save the file to a specified path and file

I thought I had found the correct Adobe registry entries,
but they don't seem to have any affect on the Adobe PDF
printer's printing preferences, so I'm back at square
one. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to do this in
code.

Take a look at our PDF and Mail library for Access. It supports the Adobe
PDF printer and outputting an Access report to a PDF file via code where you
specify the file name. It will handle the prompt for file, replace, view
and log file issues automatically. The font issues and document property
issues would be handled manually with the printer settings. You'll find it
on our web.
