>I'm using acrobat to create pdf files of my reports. The method is straight forward where a window pops-up that requires entering the file name of the pdf file to be created. I'd like to do without this message box and assign this name(s) programmatically? Does anyone have more experience on this to help me?

Take a look at Rick Strahl's article at Web reports with Adobe Acrobat Documents. It gives you the details. Basicly it depends on the OS and which version of the pdfwriter you are using. If your in Win95/98 the solution is to modify an INI file the pdfwriter uses.

Under NT the pdfwriter does not use the INI file. I resolved the issue differently with version 4.0 simply because Rick had not updated the article at the time. The 4.0 pdfwriter under NT allows you to select an output file without the user prompt under the printer driver setup. I simply made a class that generated the report file and then copied and renamed it to where I needed it. I would now use Rick's solution.
