Create PDF - but don't open it.

In the Adobe PDF printer properties menu on the Adobe PDF Settings tab deselect "View Adobe PDF results".

Thanks! ...but it doesn't seem to stick (it re-selects the option).

I'm not sure it worked. I ran my excel macro, which PDFs a sheet and saves it, then MOVES it. Even with deselecting "View results", I still get an error msg "Error opening this doc. This file cannot be found." ...as if it's trying to open the file (but can't find it cuz the macro moves it).

Appreciate the input though!

Is this a specialized macro or just the PDFMaker macro in Excel?

specialized. it takes an existing sheet, turns it into a pdf (saves it in c:\) ...then MOVES it to another communal directory (i figure this causes the adobe error ...'file cannot be found', because it's moved!).
Could skip the error altogether if adobe didn't try to open a file (that was no longer there), right?

Thanks again.

If this is a specialized macro then the error is probably related to having spaces in the path/filename of the PDF that is passed to Adobe Reader when opening it. If there are spaces in a path/filename, Adobe Reader will not parse it. To correct the problem, the application launching the PDFs need to embed literal double quotes around the path/filename.

Seems to work for the 1st and 3rd PDF I create.
Sooner or later I'll figure out how to cut the error on the 2nd/middle one too!
Thanks for this.
