> How can I autosave a document to a predefined name
PDFCreator -> Options -> Auto-save -> Filename
Remove all tokens and add your predefined name.

> ... how can I open the sample files
Which sample files?

Hi Frank, sorry but the sample files are in the dir C:\Program Files\PDFCreator\COM\Samples.

The filename will be a floating name like an invoice number that is generated in an access application.

Ok. Please describe exact what you want to do.

Btw: What is your natural language?

Frank,

I want to save each invoice I make with access. That filename will be floating so I cannot use the standard from PDFCreator.

I thought there were samples included.

BTW I am Dutch

I ask because my german is better than my english. ;-)

Than you should use the com interface. Take a look at the com sample
"modPDFCreatorAccess2000.bas" in "PDFCreator\COM\Samples\MS Office".

Hi Frank,

thanks a lot but these are the samples I cannot open or I don't know how to open.

Open your db, create a new module, import "modPDFCreatorAccess.bas" (File/Import), test it.

Hi Frank,

thanks a lot already. I am using access 2003 and I have imported the file but I get a compilation error because PDFCreator1 As PDFCreator.clsPDFCreator is not defined. What will this say.

thx

I have script in excel. Its result is printing several copies of some charts. And I use PDFCreator as printer.
My aim is make pdf filenames out of one cell of the excel sheet (or the first word in pdf file - it's the same)
In PDFcreator settings i can name the files only with date_time, document name, job name etc.
Is there a solution, how to make the filenames out of excel cell?
thanx

Use the com interface and take a look at the excel com sample.

I'm looknig for the COM interface in help file and in C:\Program Files\PDFCreator and I can't see it. Checking version function says that I have the latest version.
Is it possible to download it?
I can't reinstall the version, I don't have rights to do it.

Look in the application path:
PDFCreator\COM\Samples\MS Office -> frmPDFCreatorExcel

Online:
http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/pdfcreator/trunk/COM/Samples/MS%20Office/frmPDFCreatorExcel.frm?view=markup&rev=110

When selecting the reference, use the PDFCreator.exe file located in the base PDFCreator folder. Do not use the PDFCreator.exe located in the COM Interface folder; otherwise, everything will compile, but it will not work. Took me a while to figure out my error.
