PDF Portfolio Toolbar Default / List View / Acrobat 9 Pro

Question

Is there any way to have Portfolio Default to the list view?  Thanks, John

The file I am working with is a .doc file. It gets changed to a prn file when I execute the Macro I currently have defined - in an attempt to save it is C:\temp\temp.pdf.  The resulting file gets named C:\temp\temp.pd, but it is in actuality a prn file - can't be opened by Adobe Acrobat.  The suggestion above of subsequently passingthe prn file off to a Distiller directory to generate a pdf probably will not work because of timing issues. Here's some more background on why and what I am trying to do:
This activity is happening in a program running in a batch mode.  This program is using OLE to open Word documents, add watersmarks and other details, then save the changed Word doc as a pdf to c:\temp\temp.pdf.  The program then, expecting the temp file to be where it is, sends temp.pdf to a Document Management System, changing the name in the process to something more meaningful.  Additionally, in some cases, an additional Word doc is created on the fly which must also be saved as C:\temp\temp.pdf and is immediately thereafter procesed in a similar way - sent to a Document Management System.
The above work just fine when we used Acrobat 5.0 with PDF Writer 5.0.  The fact that PDF Writer would always write its output to C:\temp\temp.pdf (as an actual PDF file) was controlled through a registry setting (PDFFileName).  WIth Acrobat 9 Pro, this registry setting no longer works as it did in 5.0.  The switch to Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro is necessitated by the need to process documents with Chinese characters.  I've seen some references to PDF Maker and perhaps this is a product that needs to be added to this process, but I can't find complete information on this product.
