>>>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.

Try to use INI file. Here it is:
[Acrobat PDFWriter]
ErrFlag=0
FileNameSet=0
PDFFileName = 'sales.pdf'
szTitle=Visual FoxPro
szAuthor=Mark
szProducer=Acrobat PDFWriter 3.02 for Windows NT
szCreator=
szDate=D:19990611141515
startDocTitle=Visual FoxPro
bDocInfo=0
orient=2
res=3
cpwidewhole=612
cpwidepart=0
cpheightwhole=792
cpheightpart=0
cpmarginwhole=18
cpmarginpart=0
ErrNum=6
ErrCategory=0
This usually in C:\WINNT.0\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\2
