<< There's a word missing there. I'm assuming you want some sort of

<br>
There IS a capability in Print Wizard to have certain variables in the <br>
file name, such as elements of the date. It's been a while since I looked <br>
at that, but can do so if it would be useful.<br>

<br>
Do you mean the file that converts printcodes to escape sequences (the <br>
.PRT file)? If so:<br>
<br>
1) We provide a "printwiz" printer definition with Print Wizard, in
the <br>
form of the file "printwiz.prt". This can be merged into your
existing PRT <br>
file, which then allows you to use "printwiz" as a printer type.
(There's <br>
also a printwzc, for color output.) Some people have tweaked this file to <br>
meet their specific needs.<br>
<br>
2) Because Printwiz can translate PCL-5 sequences, many people simply use <br>
one of the HP printer definitions. Note that you have to configure Print <br>
Wizard to do "translatePCL".<br>
<br>
Hope that helps.<br>

question should have read... How do I set it so filePro will save the <u>pdf

"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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
