Have PDF-Creator suppress warning dialog not to halt build process


I have a msbuild script that includes creation of a few PDF's using PDF creator. It's the Convert2PDF.vbs that's being used, converting doc's to PDF's, and a while ago it stopped working and none seemed to take the time to fix it. So I looked into it and by debugging the script I found that it was in fact a document for which Word presented a dialog with information about contents being larger than the margins. This halted the entire thing since none could press this dialog during the auto-build.

So what I wonder is if there is a way to tell the PDF Creator script, via cmd line arguments or by altering the script, to suppress these kinds of warnings and just continue with conversion?


Solution

  • I solved this by creating a script in word that suppressed warnings if the given document resided within the build folder specified.
