Printing to PDF Writer from Access VBA

I have the printer properties for the Adobe PDF Writer set to use a default output folder on my desktop, and to not prompt for a filename. I have a loop in MS Access VBA that sends about 3000 individual reports to the PDF Writer, one after the next after the next. Each one has a different filename and eventually it prints all my reports. Recently I have been getting an error from MS Access that says "Error 2212. Could not print your report." It stops the print run and I have to reset and pick up where it left off. Sometimes it prints 50 sometimes it prints 2500 before it hits that error. Sometimes it takes 5 or tries to get the job completed. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be going on?

How may I print a pdf doc from access vba code

I have a directory of files and I want to send these files to the printer in a specific order (right-clicking in the explorer seems to give an unpredictable order).
I am using the sdk and know how to find the files in the directory, but I can't find any print-method???
Has anybody any code?

Thank you!
Yes I have downloaded the SDK and read the documentation, but obviously not good enough (there are a lot of doc. files). Sorry for that!
But I have got into a problem since one year ago....
Looking in the references in Access (2007), I see that the Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Type Libray (Acrobat.tlb) is pointing to my program directory, not to the c:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat where the Acrobat.tlb is placed. My program directory does NOT contain this Acrobat.tlb!!!
When I remove and reconnects to the proper directory, it automatically goes back to point to my program directory (where the Access program is).
As a result (?) my Access program stops working when I try to open a pdf-document.
Any ideas what has happended / what to do?

Error when printing a PDF direct from SAP archive

Hi together,
I try to print a PDF direct from SAP archive and I got the error ""C:\Program files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\reader\AcroRd.exe" /p /h" not found. In the internet I found several topics which describe this way to print a PDF without open the Acrobat Reader.
The customizing for document management (Local application) seems o.k. If I remove in the registry the parameters /h /p for print, Acrobat Reader will open and show the document if I use the print button in SAP.
Have anybody an idea what the reason is?
Thank you.
Regards
Thomas

The rundll32 error seems to have disappeared. Until this morning I had both this error and the rundll32. All other types of docs open fine. This one will open if saved to the desktop first, but not from Outlook.

It sounds like you would like to print from your phone directly to a printer. This feature is called Airprint and your printer would need to support that function. Here is some more information on Airprint along with a list of compatible printers:

How to print a PDF document from Labview?

I am looking to create a paper copy of a PDF document. Note: I do NOT want to create a PDF document.
In other words I want to print a PDF document from Lab View or Visual Basic or C#. The application is used in a production environment so I want a clean solution.
The requirements are:
1) Be able to specify the output printer.
2) Set the quantity to print.
3) Specify the file to print.
4) Function returns when printing is complete
5) Silent operation, that means no popup boxes.
Any help is appreciated.

The printing of .pdf file from Project 2013 stops when the file name should be written. Project 2013 crashes. Does someone know what is wrong between Project 2013 and Adobe Acrobat 9?

The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year of 2013.
Acrobat 9 support of MS Project via PDFMaker stops with Office 2007.
For Office 2013 support you must use Acrobat XI (11.0.1) or newer.

After installing an update to Acrobat on my Windows computer, the option to print to .pdf disappears from my printer options menu in all programs. What can I do?

This is the second time I updated my Adobe Acrobat X Pro program and the option to "Print to .pdf" disappears from my word processing program and all other programs I am running. Last time I uninstalled Acrobat and reinstalled and that fixed the problem, but that was a long process. Is there any other way to restore the option?

Do you mean there is no Adobe PDF printer listed? You can check the Start>Devices & Printers list and be sure it appears there.

Printing to PDF Writer using VBA from MS Access

I have the printer properties for the Adobe PDF Writer set to use a default output folder on my desktop, and to not prompt for a filename. I have a loop in MS Access VBA that sends about 3000 individual reports to the PDF Writer, one after the next after the next.
The code in Access modifies the reports "caption" to include the employee number for the record it is on... that caption becomes the name of the report in the print queue... and the PDF Writer uses that as the filename! Each one has a different filename and eventually it prints all my reports.
Recently I have been getting an error from MS Access that says "Error 2212. Could not print your report." It stops the print run and I have to reset and pick up where it left off. Sometimes it prints 50 sometimes it prints 2500 before it hits that error. Sometimes it takes 5 or tries to get the job completed. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be going on?

Printing from Access VBA in Urdu Language

I have some data in table in Urdu language, I want to print it by putting on LPT1 but when I get data in VBA it converts it into ???????. Urdu language pack is already installed and it's working in all other applications. How can I prevent my data to change
into ?????? while getting it in Access VBA.

I assume that "to get the data from the table into VBA" means that you assign a value from a recordset or from a form field that is bount to a recordset to a variable, e.g.,
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim UrduString As String
Set rs = CurrentDB.OpenRecordset("UrduTable")
UrduString = rs!SomeField
In this assignment, the data in UrduString is not modified in any way, it is completely identical to the data in the table.
However, if you look at it in the VBA Editor, e.g. with
Debug.Print UrduString
it displays as ???????. This is because of a limitation in the VBA Editor: It cannot properly *display* the contents of the Urdu string, allthough VBA correctly *stores* this content.
What do you mean by "putting the data on LPT1"? Something like
Open "LPT1:" For Binary Access Write As #1
Put #1, , UrduText
You will need to output the text in binary format. If you try to write in text format, it will indeed get transformed from Unicode to ANSI, thus producing the ????.

Creation of pdf-files from a VBA programming of a database application

In a kind of form letter practice through a modular programming in Microsoft Access individual invoices created as PDF files shall be sent as serial e-mails.
Example: After a seminar, for example 50 people shall receive individual invoices with invoice number and the respective address.
After creation we don’t want the pdf-documents to be displayed on the screen. It should be automatically transferred through our MS-Access-programming to Outlook for serial e-mails.
The functionality of the automation is positioned in a VBA module (Visual Basic for Application) of a MS Access form.
At this point Acrobat PDF should be controlled by MS-Access VBA programming (and not manually by the user).
To implement such an automatic, we need a documentation of the interfaces for the later in the text referred Acrobat objects, which can be addressed in the MS-Access VBA Programming.
References in Microsoft Access:
Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Library
Acrobat Access 3.0 Type Library
Acrobat Distiller
Objects according to Microsoft Access Object Browser:
AcroApp
AcroAVDoc
AcroAXDoc
AcrobatAccessLib
ACRODISTXLib
AcroHiliteList
AcroPDDoc
AcroPoint
AcroRect
AcroTime
Among the listed objects and their properties and methods, we need a comprehensive description.
Are there special *. DLL or *. chm or *. hlp - files
which can be addressed by MS-Access directly to automatically generate PDF files?

Google the following:
Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl\
I have done this using a Report I designed in MS Access, you basically print to the 'ADOBE PDF' printer. No need to use any of the References you listed.
I loop thru a recordset of Customer IDs and generate my reports. I do the Outlook piece after I have generated the pdf files.
My Access report has no RecordSet, it is set on the fly, using the following:
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.RecordSource = sqlReport
End Sub
sample code:
sub genReports
Dim lRC
Dim sReg
Dim emailPath As String
Dim accessPath As String
Dim strKey As String
Dim rsCust As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim rsRecs As New ADODB.Recordset
       emailPath = currentproject.path & "\email\"
       accessPath = SysCmd(acSysCmdAccessDir)
       accessPath = accessPath & "MSACCESS.EXE"
       strKey = "Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl\"
        Set sReg = GetObject("winmgmts://./root/default:StdRegProv")
       'PrinterJobControl key
       lRC = sReg.CreateKey(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, strKey)
       'query to get Customer IDs
       rsCust.Open "qryReportCust", CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenStatic
       Do Until rsCust.EOF
        strCust =rsCust!CustID
        'sqlReport is a function that uses CustID as parameter
        rsRecs.Open sqlReport, CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenStatic
        If Not rsRecs.BOF Then
           lRC = sReg.SetStringValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, strKey, _
                                     accessPath, emailPath & strCust & ".pdf")
            DoCmd.OpenReport "rptCustomerInvoice", acViewNormal
        End If
        rsRecs.Close
        Set rsRecs = Nothing
   rsCust.MoveNext
    Loop
   rsCust.Close

Creating bookmarks from access(VBA)

Hi all,
Im creating a number of bookmarks from access 2010 via VBA. And it works fine except that the acrobat.exe file still remains in process permanently. Ive found that it is this line bookmarkList = bookmarkRoot.children which causes the acrobat.exe to stay in memory. I hope im missing something fundamental here.If i remove that line, acrobat.exe closes correctly and disappears from the proccess. Ive tried bookmarklist = null(long shot) and Set bookmarkList = Nothing without success. Im hoping someone can guide me in the right direction here Im using acrobat pro X. Can anyone replicate this issue or better yet know how to fix it?
dim bookmarkList as variant
dim objAdobe As Object
dim avDoc As Object
dim PDDoc As Object
dim PDPage As Object
dim JSO As Object
dimBookMarkRoot As Object
Set objAdobe = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set PDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.pdDoc")
Set avDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.avDoc")
pdDoc.open("C:\xxxxx \test.pdf") 'it has one page in it
Set JSO = PDDoc.GetJSObject
Set BookMarkRoot = JSO.BookMarkRoot
BookMarkRoot.createChild "TEST", "", 0
bookmarkList = bookmarkRoot.children'causes acrobat.exe to stay open in task manager(processes), have tried set bookmarkList= Nothing and bookmarkList= null
pdDoc.save(1,'C:\xxxx\test2.pdf')
Set JSO = Nothing
Set PDPage = Nothing
Set avDoc = Nothing
Set BookMarkRoot = Nothing
PDDoc.Close
objAdobe.CloseAllDocs
objAdobe.Exit
Set PDDoc = Nothing
Set objAdobe = Nothing
Regards,
Ingman

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. Im not sure if i understand you correctly. if i want to loop a level of bookmarks. should i not use the .children? just to clarify, above code is just an exemple ive stripped in order to make replication of My case easier. I create about 500 bookmarks in a hierarcy structure depending on the data. So after i create a bookmark i retrieve it from the .children since i need it to create new children. Are There Any other way that i have missed doing this?
