Generating PDF Files Programatically

[charles_linett@adobeforums.com]

I have a similar problem in a Delphi program. I use the ADOBE
PDF printer driver while "printing" my report. It all works
fine.........except ADOBE puts the output file where it likes.
Given hundreds of users (most with their own ADOBE configuration)
I sometimes have trouble locating the directory of the output
PDF file (the filename is no problem). Is there some way, when
creating a PDF file this way, to "tell" the PDF driver what
directory you want it to put the output file in? I was reading
some SDK documentation and I thought it said something about
putting your desired output directory as the first thing in the
output print file in some special way but I can't find it any
more.

Yes. Look in the Distiller documentation. There is a registry key you need to set.

Thanks very much for the info. Unfortunately, since I work in a
government agency, we are not allowed to release software that
writes in the registry. Any alternatives?
