VB6, Crystal Reports 8.5 to print and pdf

I have a VB6 application that makes a call to crytstal reports 8.5 and prints documents directly to a printer, and I want to continue that process, but I now also need to create a .pdf file to save to a LAN drive. These are separate print jobs and need to be save as one .pdf document. I have an entry level VB6 knowledge. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

See adobe's site and grab there PDF print driver... okay here it is...

this is the installer that will check your system and download the postscript drivers so you can print to PDF. Then in your code you will need to change the default printer that you print to by using the set statement.

Good Luck
