Acrobat Printer output file and path set through the VS C++ Program

Hi all,

We install Acrobat (either standard or the pro version) on WIN 7 or WIN 10. By default window creates an "Adobe PDF" printer. When our application (written in C++ using VS2015), prints to the default printer, in this case "Adobe PDF"; normally the print dialog comes up and you can specify name and folder location for the PDF output. I can disable the Print Dialog box and system uses the default applications window title. There are various options in Acrobat to setup folder path and other features of the Acrobat. But, I like to configure the output file name and path through our application.

I have downloaded and spent many hours reading.... no luck yet. Could somebody point me to the right direction.

Any help is appreciated,

..Terry

Take a look here for a sample program, and pay special attention to the comments regarding 64bit OS problems: Prevent the Save Dialog when Printing to the Adobe PDF Printer
