Crystal Reports and VFP and Adobe

[bettyfurr]

I have Crystal reports running within a Visual Foxpro 7.0 app. (This works!) I want to send a name to Adobe. When the user sees the dialog to name the report, its default is the header name not the filename. I know someone knows how to do this.

Please help.

Does that mean that you want to automatically save a PDF by using a name passed from VFP?

This might help, it's for VB but the calls should be the same:

No, the user is given the printer setup dialog to chose their printer. They chose the Adobe printer which in turn uses the report name as the default name.
