Automating creation of a PDF document from Word via VBA
Is there a VBA routine that would allow me to pass keystrokes into an active
document -- as if they had been entered by a user? I'm trying to create a routine that creates (automatically) a PDF copy of the currently active document. The goal is to produce a PDF image of the active document that (1) bears the filename of the active document (without the ".doc", of course) and (2) is written in the currently active document's folder - just by having the user invoke a hotkey or press a custom button on the button bar. My problem is getting VBA to pass the current document's name into the PDF-creation system's dialog box. I can't find a PDF creation system (at least one that I can afford) that will let me pass the document name to it as an argument. So I propose to "brute force" around this by simply sending the same keystrokes a user would type into the dialog box as if they were generated from the keyboard. I know. This is old-fashioned DOS macro programming.... I'll let you laugh at me if you can tell me how to get VBA to do the same thing [grin]! Rick |
