PDF printer without user intervention [closed]

PDF printer without user intervention [closed] I'm looking for a PDF printer that doesn't ask the user to choose a filename and directory, but simply saves it to a predefined folder with a unique filename.

Bullzip PDF Printer can also autosave with a predetermined filename.

"Have you looked at the Adobe LiveCycle server, it has core modules for automating PDF creation/generation/conversion.

Its commercial, has a defined support roadmap, and is about as proper PDF as you can get, but is a lot more expensive than other apps here, and is aimed far more at 'Enterprise' solutions."

PrimoPDF can be used from the command line too (it has a GUI but it can be used without a GUI too). It has a free version and a commertional one called nitroPDF.

"If you just want to convert a url or HTML file to a PDF via the command line then I have found this open source tool wkhtmltopdf useful.

Interestingly wkhtmltopdf uses webkit for its rendering so you get the same kind of output as you might from Google Chrome or Safari. Many other solutions roll their own HTML renderer which aren't nearly as good as a browser that has been tweaked to deal with real world HTML.

Note I had to use the -l (low quality) option with the larger pages I am converting:

wkhtmltopdf.exe -l http://http://superuser.com c:\temp\mypdf.pdf

You could then use a batch file or a programming language to loop through a list of file full of urls in order to convert them."

"PDF24 Creator is exacty what you are looking for. And it is even free.

Just open pdf24-Settings.exe and choose the Folder and file naming conventions you like. Every print to this Printer will create a PDF file according your Settings.

Here is a screenshot of the print settings:"
