Redirect Printer Output To Specific File
Hi, having nightmares with PDF again......
What I basically need to do is to set a printer in Windows to print to file and then programatically set the output file name at runtime.
In more detail.
I have set up a Postscript printer to print to a fixed file name.
In my code I set this to be the default printer.
I then print an Access report to this printer.
Once this report has printed I am using Ghostscript to convert the resulting printer file (which is in EPS format) to PDF.
This all works fine and has been for some time but I have now run into brick wall when this is used by multiple users using Remote Desktop because they are trying to write to the same printer output file.
Unfortunately this system is used on a number of different sites some of which are using Access 2000/2003 so I cannot use the new PDF options in Access/Office.
I am using the API WriteProfileString function to set the default printer.
Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
