When I change my slave printer in Accuterm to produce an Adobe PDF, I have to manually name the new file. How do you automate this process such that I can pass a per-determined name for a print job to Accuterm? Thanks.

Hi,

Option 1 : 
- do not use accuterm to 'transfer' the file to a local printer but spool to &HOLD& and use a third tool to convert to pdf fcoder 2pdf   then transfer the pdf

Option 2 
- on unix, do not use accuterm to 'transfer' the file to a local printer but spool to uvspool/script which chain fcode/2pdf and get filename/options from USEROPTS set at SETPTR  
 
Option 2 :
- upload the file to local pc with accuterm and run fcode/2pdf from accuterm. 

I hope this help

Interesting option, but there's got to be a simple way to do it with Accuterm. Thanks.
