Problem printing Word document to PDF

[wouter]

I have a VB application which automaticly prints Word documents to PDF using Acrobat PDFwriter 5.0. This works fine, except for pharagraph-borders. When I print the document to PDF directly in Word, all borders appear, but when the VB applications prints, the borders are ignored. Because the borders are part of styles, it not possible to replace them with line-objects.

Not quite sure what you are asking but from the sounds of it you are shelling via the ShellExecute(Ex) API with the "print" verb to the current set default printer, or you are automating word. Either way if you are not allowing word to become visible (I think it was word 2k I had this same problem with) it messes it up somehow. It should not be much to change you code to test this little theory out and if it works Hurray! if not I'll go back to left field.

Good Luck
