Fw: pfpostprint question

[Richard Hane]

I want to thank all who wrote me back on how to solve my problem.  I used a little different tack than was suggested.

This is how I solved the problem for anyone else who might have this situation.

First, this is the definition of my pdf printer in fp.
printer12: rickpdf, printwiz, v:\rickfp.txt, Create PDF

The batch file that calls up this fp menu is listed below

@echo off
rem This File created by Rick Hane on 1-13-2010
set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
set PFDSK=V
set PFDATA=V:
set PFPROG=V:
set PFDIR=
set PFLMHOST=server2007
set PFMENU=V:\fp\menus\rick
set PFGLOB=
set PFCONFIG=
rem set pfpostprint=c:\program files\printwiz30\printwiz /fpDF://V:\hotlist.pdf /quiet
set pfpostprint=c:\program files\printwiz30\printwiz /fpDF://V:\ /quiet
set PATH=%pfprog%;%PFPROG%\fp;%path%
echo stuff > fp$$$$$$.bat
del fp$$*.bat>NUL
%pfprog%\fp\p woprod2

Note the rem line on line 12.  This is what use to be run. Now I use line 13 which has removed the name "hotlist.pdf".

The result is that fp will create the pdf as rickfp.pdf in V:\.  This is true for any of the 3 outputs called from that menu. I then set up 3 diffent batch files to rename and copy then pdf as I wanted it to appear.  These batch file are the last entry on each of the 3 menu lines (script file).

The result gives me three different pdf outputs for my production people with out any enteraction from them.

Hope this helps someone else.
