Need ability to disable the properties dialog when printing
I never use nor want the dialog that appreas after issueing the Print command and before the filename dialog appears. Please let us disable it in the Preferences. I would even suggest to turn it OFF by default, but I would be happy if I could just get rid of it.

If you don't receive any better answer I think you must define AutoSave in the profile in order to avoid this dialog.

That doesn't seem to work. When I select Auto-save from Printer / Options / Auto-save, I am no longer prompted for a filename and - more importantly - a directory where the PDF file is supposed to go. This also happens when I de-select "use this directory for Auto-save".
Are you using some COM or RegWrite or printing manually to pdfCreator printer?
Also you can create several pdfcreator printers and assign to each one autosave and folder and authomatic name for example. Then print to the printer so created and you can have an powerful environment.
You can create pdfcreator additional printers using the pdf monitor, in the menu Printer - Printers ....

No.

I don't want a "powerful environment", and I don't want to create a "PDFCreator printer" for every commonly used subdirectory on my 4 PCs with 4 user accounts each.
I want to print to the PDFCreator printer driver and only be prompted for a filename and directory.
This is common practice for Windows programs when creating new files. I know of no other program that asks for meta-data before asking to save the file.
Hi.
I'm also very upset about the dialogue of idle.
It should be possible to print directly as a normal pdf-printer can do this. Only filename and folder has to be asked for a normal printing.
Please please please: could you put on a wish list, or is there a script available, to press the save button automatically?
Hi again.
Could you please add a new option, in addition to autosave, so we don't need to show form .frmPrinting.
I call it for example: opt.DontShowNagScreen :-)
The frmMain.CheckForPrinting() has to be changed like this:
50380 If opt.UseAutosave = 1 Then
50390 opt2 = Options
50400 Options = opt
50410 Autosave PDFSpoolfile
50420 SaveOption Options, "Counter", PrinterDefaultProfile
50430 opt2.Counter = Options.Counter
50440 Options = opt2
50450 Else
50460 If LenB(isf.REDMON_PRINTER) > 0 And UCase$(OldPrinter) <> UCase$(isf.REDMON_PRINTER) Then
50470 OldPrinter = isf.REDMON_PRINTER
50480 End If
50490 frmPrinting.PrinterProfile = GetPrinterDefaultProfile(isf.REDMON_PRINTER)
if opt.NEWDontShowNagScreen = 1 Then
-> ...do process frmPrinting.cmdSave .... // ask for filename/folder
Else
50500 -> frmPrinting.Show , Me // show the unwanted Form
End If
50510 End If
Is this possible for the next version?
PLEASE Provide this function!
