Print Report To PDF and Save it

Hi guys,

Have been trying this out for sometime with no success. I want to be able to use pdf printing application like pdfprinter to print my vb reports to and then save the reports to a particular location on my computer.

Anyone with an idea how i'd achieve that?

Regards.

I'm not sure if this is the solution you are looking for, but PDFCreator (which is free) has a feature to save PDFs that get send to it's virtual printer to a specific location.
On it's site ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ )it says under features:
AutoSave files to folders and filenames based on Tags like Username, Computername, Date, Time etc.

My company has been using it for the last 4-5 years without any problems

Value added note - you may want to check out this entry at Ask Leo . He prefers Cute PDF Writer because he claims PDF Creator now installs unwanted software.
