Using PrintParams to print to Nuance PDF

Using Javascript for an Acroform, am I able to code a form to Print to PDF if someone is using Nuance software for PDF conversion?

This works with my "Adobe PDF" printer, but it doesn't do anything if I use "Nuance PDF" - which is the name of the printer.

var pp = this.getPrintParams();

    pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic;

    pp.printerName = "Nuance PDF";

    this.print(pp);

    this.closeDoc(true);

Thanks!

Have a look at the app.printerNames list to make sure you're using the

right name.

I would... but I'm making this for someone else and they don't have the full version of Acrobat.

I'm working off the OS system list of printers.

Is it possible that the "Nuance PDF" printer is network configured and I need the name of the network address?

You can set up a simple form with a text field and a button that populates the field with the printer names when clicked.

And yes, that's quite likely.
