I must have misread. When the OP stated that it was Ne00 on other computers
I assumed he meant they actually had "Adobe on Ne00". He must be talking
about the other printers that are installed.

Obviously, I know little about printers. I just assumed he wanted to
programmatically capture and set the active printer to Adobe, not actually
set the Adobe "printer" name to something different.

Thanks Nick!

I'm no expert on printers, but you get "Adobe PDF on My Documents\*.pdf",
because that is the virtual port that you have set, so Adobe defaults to
that location when it "prints" its output.
As such you cannot have "Adobe PDF on Ne01" because that is real port with a
supposedly real printer connected. As Adobe PDF does not output real printer
codes this would not be possible.

Thanks a lot! That's very helpful!
But the strange thing is. When I was trying to print out the information.
I
just get
"Adobe PDF on My Documents\*.pdf" instead of
"Adobe PDF on Ne01".

Could you tell me how can I get "Adobe PDF on Ne01". Thanks a lot!

I think Adobe PDF is the local name for the printer and Ne01 describes
the
network name for the same resource.

Tom Ogilvy posted some resources to check out.

If you can return a list (or array) of all of the printers, I would
think
you could loop through the listing the identify which one has "Adobe
PDF" in
the name (check VBA InStr function). I only have one printer so I can't
fully test the macro's suggested, but the one that uses WScript.Network
(which you should have seen in Tom's old posts) seemed to work okay.

At the very worst, you could have the user change the activeprinter
using
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrinterSetup).Show
