Andrea,
set printer to name "Acrobat PDFWriter"
set safety off
report form myReport to file "pdfTest." noconsole
There will be an empty file by the name of pdfTest. the needs to be deleted. The actual output file will be pdfTest.pdf (in this example)
Also, in the registry, there is a key called 'bExecViewer' that determines whether the reader openes the file after it is created (set it to 1 to preview the file, 0 prevents opening). Search for bExecViewer in the registry...
Another method is below. I've never used this method, but it should provide more control. Also, it should be less expensive if you need this for several machines (using the Acrobat Writer you have to purchase a license for every machine it is installed).
