Automating Adobe Acrobat, (creating pdf's)

Author	Message
Ke #1 / 5	Automating Adobe Acrobat, (creating pdf's) I need to write a fairly simple procedure. I need to convert all the .tif or .doc files in a directory to .pdf format. I will have hundreds/thousands of each so I need to automate. I have Adobe Acrobat 4.0 and also the software developer's kit from Adobe. I'm fairly profficient at Access VBA but have never automated Adobe. I'm am under the gun time-wise, (as we all are) and am asking if anyone has done this before and might be able to let me view some sample code or point me in the right direction. Thanks! Ken

Dimitri Furma #2 / 5	Automating Adobe Acrobat, (creating pdf's) Hi Ken, Take a look at this code from Dev Ashish's website, it's not exacly what you need but close: http://www.mvps.org/access/reports/rpt0011.htm You probably don't need to automate Acrobat itself but rather the apps that will print tif and doc files.

Can you not either drag n drop the files from one folder to the other, or write something to automate the moving process. Cheers, Nicola

Keri Hardwic #5 / 5	Automating Adobe Acrobat, (creating pdf's) Or go to The Access Web and get instructions on how to do it for free www.mvps.org/access It all depends whether you have time & desire or a little bit of money. Had the ATTAC class library been available when I had to figure it out and write those instructions, I would have purchased it in a minute!! Keri Quote: >>I need to write a fairly simple procedure.
