Set default output type for pdfmaker conversion options

[JSHLawFirm]

I am currently using the following to create a list of hyperlinks in a spreadsheet, then save as a pdf with the acrobat pdfmaker references. (See code below)

We have it working almost fully but are not sure where to set the output preference for PDFMaker Conversion Options, right now it is defaulting to "Fit Worksheet to a single page" We would like it to default to "Fit to paper width"

Is this possible?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.​

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Get the folder object
folderPath = Application.InputBox("Enter path to files.")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(folderPath)
i = 3
'loops through each file in the directory
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files

You won't like this answer: The PDFMaker is not Ann object that is available to developers - it's use is not documented and therefore unsupported. This means that Adobe has left the door open for them to change this interface anytime they want, so even if you can get this working, it could breaker with the next minor update to Acrobat.
