How can I create a pdf but not have it open in acrobat afterwards

I want to be able to create a pdf file but not have it open up in acrobat after it is created.
I am doing this in an Access application that outputs a report to a pdf and then faxes that pdf to a fax number associated with that report.  It might loop thru several hundred reports so I don't want to have close several hundred pdfs manually, plus I doubt my computer could even handle that many opened pdf files.  Is there someway of configuring acrobat so that it won't open after a pdf is created?
Thank you
Ben Tolsky

Using VBA I open up a report and then use the following code:
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, RptName, acFormatPDF, strFile, 0
RptName is the name of the report
strFile is C:\Reports\test.pdf
It creates the pdf no problem, its just that it opens it up afterwards.  I would like it to not open up the pdf in acrobat because I want to loop thru several hunderd reports and fax them to different numbers.

  • How can I create one playlist and not have numerous ones that duplicate songs?

    How do I consolidate all my playlists into one large playlist and eliminate the extras?

    Hey there Christophter,
    You can start consolidate your playlists by opening the one you want to move music FROM, then dragging the music in there to the playlist you want to add TO. If there is a duplicate you will be prompted to skip them or not. Then delete the playlist:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
    Click the item to select it, and press the Delete key.
    Click DeleteItem.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I am at capacity How can I free up space but not delete music

    My Ipad is at 55.4 gb used 24 gb in music alone. 2.7 gb available so can't do anything  Ipad shuts itself down and won't let me open mail, use facebook, safari.How can I free up space but not delete songs in library   

    Unless you are attempting to download a sizable file, 2.7 GB should be more than enough to continue fucntioning. Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

  • How can I create an icon that when clicked will open and maximize an image file?

    How do I create a icon that when clicked will open and maximize an image file?  I have tried to use the simple image widget with maximize upon tap/click - however I am can only size the image really small and put on the page.  I'd prefer to have a graphic that when clicked it simply opens up the image.  This is for a very simple question/answer book.   The user is suppose to look at a picture and locate something.  I want to put an 'Answer' graphic on the image and then the user can click the 'answer' graphic and it will open up the picture with the answer identified. 
    Is this possible?

    Have yiu tried the PopOver widget?  You can drop an image into it, maximise the image and the widgets window...But, you cannot get it full screen.
    With iBooks Author, you either learn to use what is available within the app, or look online for third party widgets to purchase which suit your project.

  • Can I save my iMessages but not have them appear in my list?

    I have a list of all of my iMessage convos.  I would like to have them on my phone but not have them appear in my list.  (Not active convos but want to save the information and don't want to have to scroll through them).  Can this be done?

    You could save them to a file on your computer, using apps like PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac or Windows) then move that file back to your phone. I back up my messages as a PDF file. I could, if I wanted to, email that to myself and open it in a PDF reader app (e.g. iBooks). 
    There's no good way to do it on the phone itself.
    Best of luck.

  • How can I create a PDF with embedded fonts (not a subset of the font) from Excel?

    I need to create PDF's from Excel spreadsheets. The PDF needs to have embedded fonts but every time I create one it only has a subset of the embedded font.  I have tried setting preferences in the Acrobat add in (unchecked the "Subset Embedded Fonts" option and also tried with the Subset Embedded Fonts checked but the percentage set to only 1% in an attempt to force full font to be embedded.)
    I also tried opening the resulting PDF with Acrobat Pro XI but could not figure out how to add the font in.
    A method to accomplish the results from either tool would be great.

    Anna;
    Unless you can add those fonts to your system via the Font book and then substitute them in iPhoto, you'll have to either user the available fonts or create your own pages, 8.5 x 11, in an image editor like Photoshop Elements and use them on pages that are one photo per page. Other's have done that with some success.
    If you has PS or PSE create an 8.5 x 11" canvas at 300 dpi. Then you can add your photos, add text (if PS can use the text), and create your own layout.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How can I create a PDF with flowing columns?

    I need to write a script that takes my input data and creates a PDF file that has flowing columns - that is to say, where I give it a long chunk of text and that text is automatically broken into two columns where the text flows down column 1 and when it hits the bottom of the page it starts filling up column 2.  I've been playing with enscript and pstopdf and they can do that, the problem is that I also need some sections of the PDF that aren't in 2 columns.
    I can probably explain this better with an example - assume my long chunk of text is the alphabet, I need my PDF to look like this:
    [Page 1]
    Header 1
    Header 2
    Header 3
    A   E 
    B   F
    C   G
    D   H
    [Page 2]
    I    K
    J   L
    Header 4
    Header 5
    M   N
    [Page 3]
    O   R
    P   S
    Q   T
    I tried generating an HTML file and converting the HTML to PDF inside Safari, but while the HTML looks good, WebKit drops the ball and forgets about the columns when converting to PDF.
    Is there a way to create the document in sections and then somehow combine them into one final document?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I see I forgot some important points, sorry ...
    This needs to be part of an automated process, the data will be different each time which makes it difficult to calculate how much will fit in a given column on a specific page.
    The machine doing the processing does not have Microsoft Office on it, but I could install Open Office for sure and possibly Pages, although I don't know their scripting languages so I'm not sure whether that would take more time than I have ...
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • How can I create a PDF contact sheet of photos in finder

    I'm trying to create an automator workflow/action (or service) that will allow me to select a set of photos in the finder and then create a PDF contact sheet that will include the Photo filename. I know that I can select photos and open in preview, but these do not include the filename with the photo in the saved PDF.
    I'm a newbie with Automator, but i gave it a try myself.
    In the Automator PDF Library, there is an action called "New PDF contact sheet", however I can't seem to be able to get it to work. I dragged that action to the workflow and then added "Get Selected Finder Items" before that.
    It appears to run it--an "application"/window appears titled "MakePDF" and it appears to run through the selected photos. However, at the end (after it asks for the file name to save it with), it says that "The action “New PDF Contact Sheet” encountered an error--check the actions properties and try running the workflow again".
    What am I leaving out of the workflow?

    There is a bug in the *New PDF Contact Sheet* action in that it is looking for the Leopard version of a file that moved and changed in Snow Leopard.
    Snow Leopard has a newer version of a support application MakePDF.app in the */System/Library/Image Capture/Automatic Tasks* folder, but as mentioned the *New PDF Contact Sheet* action seems to still require the older version of the application, which in Leopard is located in the */System/Library/Image Capture/Tools* folder. If you have access to a Leopard installation, you can copy the MakePDF.app from Leopard and place it into the same location in Snow Leopard (/System/Library/Image Capture/Tools) - this will get the action working again.

  • How can I create a PDF with cad layers visible and switchable?

    I am producing CAD drawings in Vectorworks 2013 on a Mac OS X 10.6.8. I can export these as Autocad .dwg files and read them in E-Drawings viewer but do not have Autocad. I want to create a PDF of a drawing for a client to use which will display Vectorworks classes (Autocad layers) and they will be able to turn these classes (layers) on and off. I understand the client has received such files from other parties (probably using Autocad).

    Hi steffenoberlaender,
    Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat and MS Office are you using.
    Try exporting any other word file to PDF and check if this could be a document specific issue.
    If possible, share both the sample word and PDF file with me via email so that I can check at my end.
    I have sent you a private message with my contact ID details.
