[AccessD] Printing to file as PDF w/specific path?

We use PDF995 on a server to accomplish this but there are lots of other PDF
choices out there.

Subject: [AccessD] Printing to file as PDF w/specific path?


With the recent thread about manipulatinig printers through code, I decided
tolook into both the Printer API and the newere Printers object.  So far,
I've not figured out how to do what I'm trying to do.

My Challenge:

Let's say all my invoices for the month of March are ready to go out, and I
want to drop a copy in each client's folder.  Rather than Print Preview each
one in order to save it as a pdf, I'd like to click one button that will
kick off a routine looping through all my client records and print their
invoices out to a pdf file, saving the file at the path stored in the
client's record.

Now, looping through each client and opening or previewing the report?
Easy.  I can even set the default printer in code, no sweat. The part I
cannot figure out is how to print to a pdf file, and stick my own path in
there.  I looked ad DoCmd.OutputTo at first, but it only works with the
predefined formats Access ships with.

Surely I'm not the first guy to need to do this?  Any ideas?
