Mapkey for MS Printer Manager

Has anyone found a way to get a mapkey to accept "OK" in the MS Printer Manager? I'm trying to print to a pdf (thanks to Pro/E changing the "SaveAs pdf" command). I've set my default printer appropriately and saved the settings, so all I need the mapkey to do is click "OK" in the MS Printer Manager. Any suggestions? I'm using WF4 M080 with XP 64. Thanks.

Our mapkey for PDFing requires us to select the printer (which is "Adobe PDF")and then click OK. The only other pause is for us to change the name of the PDF (since we are 'saving a copy'). Long story short...we have not found a way to get the mapkey to click OK for us, but if you do, let us know.

Creating a PDF in WF4: File > Save a copy... Type: PDF This way you do not have to press a button in a non-Pro/E screen Mapkey (with standard settings for pdf and overwriting old file):
