The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

create Adobe PDF with vb - version of Adobe writer changes from 5 to 8

Asked by seipel-rotter in Adobe Acrobat, Visual Basic Programming, Miscellaneous Programming

Tags: vb

Hello everybody,

I have a VB 6.0 program used as a MS Word-Addin that (among other things) creates a PDF from the document. The pdf is saved to a special path where  the application expects to find it whent it is finished.

Now we want wo upgrade from Acrobat 5.0 to 8.0 - and I see that there are many differences. The application won't work. So I need to know exactly what to change...

what the application does, is the following:

writing these values into
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ADOBE\Acrobat Distiller\5.0\PrinterJobControl\Microsoft Word - testingthedoctopdf.doc:
"OutFile"="c:\\temp\\testingthedoctopdf.pdf" <-- the full path of the document
"JobOptions"="ebook"
"ViewPrintOutput"=hex:00
"AskForPdfFileName"=hex:00
"DeleteLogOnSuccess"=hex:01
"IgnoreSecuritySettings"=hex:01

Now with Scrobat 8.0 I found this key instead (without the "5.0"):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl

but when I try to do the same like above, it does not work. It seems to be that the whole mechanism changed. It neither gets the information of the location of the outputfile nor the information, that it should not ask the user where to save to.

Also in the printer list there just exists "Adobe PDF" - there was the Writer and the Distiller nefore so that I could choose which one to take. I need this option, too.

I read about API calls in 1000 links and so on - but what I need is to know how to convert my code, what the code has to do to get it to work as it worked before...

For practical help on the "howto" where in the registry I have to put what that leads to a solution with my application I spend 500 points, if this is too little I would increase. Please help me...
