<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Hi Bob,</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, you are correct. My chubby fingers don't always type what my mind says. </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The question should have read... How do I set it so filePro will save the <U>pdf output</U> as the format name instead of <BR>"hotlist.pdf" so this can be used for other outputs?. In short, this command works fine for my output named "hotlist" but if I want to use this batch file to run 3 different formats and have their respective outputs saved as their unique filepro format names. According to filePro's help file pfpostprint is suppose to allow this.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">As to the second question I chose some bad verbage. It is not the print definition I need as I have that. It's what do other filePro users put under the "File Destination" in Printer Maintenance for printwiz. (ie. lpt:1, win: (foobar), etc.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Again, thanks for your help.</DIV>
