    Leading characters in output filename
    • yahya01yahya01

      Hi

      I am using below code to set PDFCreator settings and then I am programmatically printing the MS Access report to PDFCreator printer. The problem is that the generated PDF files have  ‘c__’ prefixed to their filenames which is ruining the filenames. How can I get rid of the preceding ‘c__’ from the output filenames please?

      Thanks

      Regards


          Set pdfjob = New PDFCreator.clsPDFCreator
          With pdfjob
              If .cStart("/NoProcessingAtStartup") = False Then
                  MsgBox "Can't initialize PDFCreator.", vbCritical + _
                          vbOKOnly, "PrtPDFCreator"
                  GoTo fexit
                  'Exit Function
              End If
              .cOption("UseAutosave") = 1
              .cOption("UseAutosaveDirectory") = 1
              .cOption("AutosaveDirectory") = sPDFPath
              .cOption("AutosaveFilename") = sPDFName
              .cOption("AutosaveFormat") = 0    ' 0 = PDF
              .cClearCache
          End With

      Hi,

       

      you can enable substitution options in the PDFCreator GUI, substitute "c__  = ".

      You can also take a look at the ShowPrintJobs.vbs example located in the COM folder (in your PDFCreator path) and see how cOutputFilename can be used.

       

      regards,

      Hi Robin

      Many thanks. I tried substitution but no luck. Also did not find a ShowPrintJobs.vbs file in the COM folder. I even searched on cOutputFilename on the whole of PDF Creator folder and this file did not come up. Is it possible to provide the relevant part of code that handles setting of output file name?

      Many Thanks

      Regards

      The full PDFCreator source (for v1.4.1) is available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/files/PDFCreator/PDFCreator%201.4.1/ if you wanted to poke around it in the mean time.

      Hello,

      this is a bit strange as setting the AutosaveFilename should lead to a proper filename. Can you debug this and tell me what the contect of the sPDFName variable is?

      kind regards,
      Philip

      Hi Philip

      Many thanks for the tip. The original filename contains the path c:\ which was being converted to c__. Sorry, silly me.

      Thanks

      Regards
