    Default How do I print PDF from command line?

    I got an Access report that'll be created pretty frequently and I want to be able to print it to PDF from the command line. Either by a user or automated with an auto builder. Are there any commands in Access or third party applications which allow of printing to PDF from command line?

    Close but I don't have Acrobat installed. We might have a license for it so I'll check it out if I have to, I just prefer the free open source stuff. Thanks.

    Maybe try using CutePDF (free program) and set default printer = CutePDF?

    First hit on google for "adobe reader commandline" --> http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devs...docs/52080.htm

    (Reader is free so no licensing required...)

    Opensource pdf viewers/converters should have similar options, if Google doesn't help try an appname.exe /? or /help or -help

    I want to print to PDF, not print a PDF. I'm trying to take an Access pivot chart and actually fire it out to a PDF file which can be viewed at a later date.

    This.

    I have adobe at work and I still use cutepdf.

    The only time I use adobe is when I need the document secured.

    Don't know if this helps or not, but at work I use iText (open source) to print HTML and image to PDF file.
