How print report to pdf and have it open right away on screen

I'm having a problem with image resolutions (another topic) and want to try a work-around.

Is the a way via VBA to from a command button on a form, print a report to a pdf and then have that pdf report appear on the screen right away?

I'm not sure about using VBA however there is another way to do it. Install PDFCreator from SourceForge. It is open source and free. Set PDFCreator as default printer. Print a document and select Options. Go to Auto-save and tick Auto-save and "After auto-saving open the document...".

This worked perfectly.  The only thing is it seems to open the pdf at 105%.  I wish it was about 75%.
