>>Last week, I posted a message describing a problem with using Adobe Acrobat 4 under Visual FoxPro 6, running on a Windows NT platform (Message Title was Outputting Reports in .PDF with Acrobat 4, thread #228100). Since then, several more of our customers have reported this problem of having the PDFWriter output to a PRINTER.TXT.PDF. It is becoming an urgent situation.

>>Has anyone heard anything else from Microsoft, Adobe, or any other source, reporting this sort of problem and/or offering a solution or workaround for it? I'm approaching the end of my time limit to get this fixed, and I'm no closer to a solution now than I was a week ago.

Mark,

Filenames are created witht he following command:
lcFileName = oSession.cTempPath + SYS(3) + '.' + lcExtension

oSession.cTempPath is a directory that is used for temporary files. It is usually C:\TEMP or some variant.
lcExtension is the file extension of the filename we are creating. If we do not put an extension on our filename, VFP will create the file with a .TXT extension. Since our printer is PDFWriter, the extension is PDF.

Therefore, our filename lcFileName would be "c:\TEMP\12345678.PDF"

As I mentioned, this has worked fine under Adobe Acrobat 3.
