CutePDF with programmatic access

[SUZYQ]

I recently purchased CutePDF with programmatic access so that I can
create PDFs while bypassing the "save as" dialog box.

Does anyone have experience incorporating this into VBA? I have loaded
the software. I copied the api calls into a module and am trying to
use the example that they show on the CutePDF website that interacts
with Word.

When I try to compile the code, I get an error that a variable is not
defined (REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE), but according to the CutePDF people
this is a Windows sdk constant value.

Would love to hear from someone who has successfully done this.

Doing a Google on this field I found the following KB article.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;299853
which has the following value in it
Const REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE = 0
So I'd try that one.

Note that you will likely have other constants with a similar problem.

As an alternative A2000ReportToPDF is an Access 2000 database
containing a function to convert Reports and Snapshot files to PDF
documents. No PDF Printer driver is required.

Simply substitute for 0 (zero)
Or declare
Public Const REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE=0

Thanks. As to A2000ReportToPDF, I have tried it but it doesn't work
with the barcode font that I have in the report. I contacted Stephen
Lebans, and he is aware of it.

So now I'm trying the CutePDF. I set the constant to 0 and it seems to
be working but needs more tweaking.

Thanks,

Darn. Well, if Stephen is aware of that problem then there's not much
we can do about it.

Another user posted that switching to a True Type BarCode font solved the
issue. The OP should do a GoogleGroups search on this issue.
