I am trying to create a macro that automatically creates PDF files using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 as a printer. This macro has worked in the past with Acrobat 4.0 but does not work with the new version.

I think my problem is the print to file option.

Does anyone know how to toggle the print to file option in a macro.

Thanks,
Bob

Starting with Adobe 6, PDFWriter has been replaced with Adobe PDF. Change the printer name in the macro to match and it should work fine.

That was a problem but it didn't solve the main problem. Any other ideas?

You might try this command in your macro.

PLOT_DESTINATION 'filename'

This will set the name of the output file, and I think it will cause the "Print to File" box to be checked.
