creating a pdf file automatically from vb6
|

| I know there are products out there that create a pdf file by using a print
driver, but they all (to my limited knowledge) seem to require a user to
choose the file name and folder that the file is going to. I have a vb6
application that creates an html file and I want it to convert that file to a
pdf file without the user being involved. Does anybody have a clue how to do
that and what products I'd need?
Cheers,
Jon

| Thanks. I've downloaded and am trying PDFCreator. I've set it up to do the
autosave so it doesn't prompt the user for a filename to save it under but
I'm struggling to get it to actually print the htm file I created. I have set
PDFCreator to be the default printer. It seems to me that I need to use the
shell command as in: Shell "print C:\file.htm" , but when I do this it tries
to print it under a printer that was previously set to be the default.
There has to be an easier and more reliable way to do this. Any clues?
Cheers,
Jon
