Auto Printing to a PDF without the Save As dialog

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have developed an application (C# - VS 2008) that, among other things automatically creates 2 reports. These reports are always in the same format and always going to the same location on our network. In my code I am able to set the "Document.PrinterSettings.PrinterName" to a PDF creator that automatically creates the PDF document but so far I have been unable to bypass the Save As Dialog that pops up. I would like to hard code the file names and save locations so that when the reports have been generated they are auto-saved without user intervention.

Any ideas?

Are you using CutePDF? In that case it might not be possible. Try PDF995. Check out this link, this user has the exact same issue as you:

I'm using neither - the PDF compiler is part of another corporate application called Tempest. I will try the PDF995 solution

Checked out a few of the suggestions cutePDF, PDF995 and PrimoPDF and all of these require separate installations. I know that it probably isn't available, but what I'm looking for is an embeddable solution. Oh well, I just may have to separate out some "spare time" and develop it.
