PrintManager - Suppress/Hide the save As filename dialog

[dhanait_ajay13]

I'm using the PrintManager Revit API to submit a PDF print.

Although I'm setting the property .PrintToFilename = 'Filename.pdf', I'm still getting a dialog appear asking user for PDF file and location.

I think you will find that this is a print driver issue / restriction that you will hit with any application (even though you include the path property in PrintManager).  The only way I have found to suppress the save as dialog is to purchase a third party PDF Printer that allows programmatic access, like CutePDF SDK for example (Custom PDF Writer).  Amongst other things it enables applications to set the output file in the registry programmatically which the printer driver checks prior to popping the Save As dialog box.  There are of course other customisable drivers but CutePDF is the one I have used.
