yes, check out Ken Getz's solution

Basically identify and save the default printer.
Change to the Adobe printer.
Use the Docmd.Open Report (specify report name *.pdf)
After "printing" which is really just generating the file switch back to
previous
default printer.
You could run into a problem depending on the version of Adobe you are using
5.0 is straightforard, later versions can be problematic.
Also if you dont want the Save As dialog box to come up you will need to
create a registry value for PDFFileName, specify full path to the pdf
