By default, Adobe Acrobat PDFWriter displays the Save As dialog box
each time you create a PDF file, so you can specify the name and
location of the PDF file. You can disable this dialog box, however, by
editing PDFWriter's preferences in either the Win.ini file (Windows 95)
or the __pdf.ini file (Windows NT) so that PDFWriter automatically
names PDF files and saves them to a specified location. You can also
disable the Document Info dialog box that appears by default.
Please note that you can specify only one default name and location
when you edit the preferences file --- all PDF files you create will be
saved with the same name and to the same location. After you create
each PDF file, either rename it or move it to a different location.
Otherwise, each new PDF file you create will replace an older file.
NOTE: In Windows NT, this process works only with PDFWriter 3.02 or
earlier. PDFWriter 3.03 for Windows NT does not let you make permanent
changes to the __pdf.ini file located in the
Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86\2 folder. (The __pdf.ini located
in the Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86 folder can be permanently
modified, but PDFWriter doesn't refer to that __pdf.ini file.) For
PDFWriter 3.03, you must use the Save As dialog box to specify a file
name and location for each PDF file.
To edit PDFWriter's preferences file: 1. In Windows 95, make a backup
copy of the Win.ini file, located in the Windows folder. In Windows NT,
make a backup copy of the __pdf.ini file, located in the same folder as
the PDF Writer printer driver (this is usually the
Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\W32x86\2 folder).
NOTE: If you have more than one Win.ini file or __pdf.ini file on your
system, make the changes to each file. Adobe recommends that you have
only one of either file on your system.
2. Open the original Win.ini or __pdf.ini file in a text-editing
application that can save in text-only format (e.g., WordPad). Locate
the [Acrobat PDFWriter] section of the file, where you'll add lines of
text as instructed in steps 3-5. If there isn't an [Acrobat PDFWriter]
section, create one immediately after the [Ports] section. 3. To
automate the naming of PDF files and disable the Save As dialog box,
type the following line and then press Enter:
PDFFilename=[name].pdf
where [name] is the name you want to use for your PDF files.
4. If you want to save PDF files to a specified location, type the path
to that location and then

26.11.98 press Enter. For example:
C:\Pdffiles\[name].pdf
5. To disable the Document Info dialog box, type the following line and
then press Enter:
bDocInfo=0
6. Save the file in text-only format. 7. Restart Windows.
