access Adobe Printing Preferences output folder

Question

I want to programmatically access Adobe's default print folder location if such is set. Is there a way to do that with C#?

I think I will be fine with just knowing what its set to, but if its possible to set this setting from my app, then that would be great too.

Thank you,

Answer 1

I sorry, but I don't think that's possible.

You cannot directly set any of these options (in any case, print driver options are very problematic as they are handled by a level of indirection in Windows and the registry keys can vary).

Answer 2

Most of the settings in that dialog box live in the registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\Adobe PDF and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\Adobe PDF\PrinterDriverData

Specifically, the "Port" key which has Documents\*.pdf is the one you want.

Note: Since these are HKLM keys, they will require administrator rights to change
