this is extracted from the comp.lang.rexx newsgroup...from Lee Peedin. Note
this won't work with Distiller 4.0, but
appears to work with Distriller 6.0

There are 2 things necessary to make the Adobe Distiller "automatic".

1) Open the Properties for the Adobe Distiller (in your printers
folder)

 On the General Tab click Printing Preferences

 Remove the check by "Prompt For Adobe PDF filename"
 (this is what prompted for the file name)

Remove the check by "View Adobe PDF results"
(this is what opened the PDF reader after the file was created)

2) Go back to the Properties and select the "Ports" tab

Select the "Add Port" button

You will see a list of port types
 Select Adobe PDF Port and click New Port

 At that point you will be shown a dialog of folders accessible on
your system, select the folder you wish the PDF files to be saved in.
