Hi, What I have done is creating a printer port with the name of my output file. So I now exactly which file my "printer" prints to. When MapInfo has printed, I do a File Rename of the printed file, and next time MapInfo prints there is no file to overwrite as I have renamed it.

You can enable/disable the prompting of file name, and under the ports setting, you can specify the default directory where you would like the pdf created. This should remove the interactivity from your PDF creation. Just be aware that the default PDF name will be the window (in this case the layout) title. So unless the title is unique, you will wind up saving each new PDF over the old ones.

By using the printwin function I am able to by pass the printer dialog box but I still have to save each file once it is created. Is there way within adobe or mapbasic to determine the specific directory i want these maps to printed so I can by pass the save pdf as dialog box. any help is appreciated thanks Scott _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
