filePro and CutePDF Writer

I am sure some of you use CutePDF Writer, the free pdf generator.  I have never 
had a problem with using it along with any Windows program.

Today I was thinking that since CutePDF is listed as a Windows printer I should 
be able to add it to my printer definitions in filePro (ODBC 5.0.15).  I used 
the command Win: CutePDF Writer.  This is the Windows name.

I changed the fp.bat file to set this as my printer.  I then ran a report and 
sure enough that CutePDF box is displayed asking for a file name and location.  
And I go to check and yes it created the pdf with the correct name.

Now the problem and you knew there had to be one.  The PDF file that is created 
has nothing in it and is only 1 byte in size.

Anyone have a clue as to the problem and more importantly a solution?

Thank you in advance,
