PDFCreator COM Interface not working

I am trying to write a script with PDF Creator to send a report to PDFCreator, have it convert it and then email it. I am using Visual FoxPro 9 (VFP) but it is very simple code. Here it is:

*-- This is a test
PUBLIC goQ as PDFCreator.JobQueue
LOCAL loJ as PDFCreator.PrintJob, lcFileName

*-- Instantiate and initalize PDFCreator

goQ = CREATEOBJECT("PDFCreator.JobQueue")
goQ.Initialize()

*-- Create a random filename in the current directory
*-- I will use that in the Job settings
lcFileName = CURDIR()+SYS(2015)+".pdf"

*-- send the report to PDFCreator

SET PRINTER TO PDFCreator
REPORT FORM zipcodes ENVIRONMENT TO PRINTER NOCONSOLE

*-- PDFCreator pops up a SaveAs dialog here. I hit enter as fast as I can

IF !goQ.WaitForJob(20)
	MESSAGEBOX("Error getting print job.",16)
ELSE
	loJ = goQ.NextJob()
	loJ.SetProfileByGuidOrName("VisionPoint")
	loJ.SetProfileSetting("EmailClientSettings.Recipients", "njChazzan@gmail.com")
	loJ.SetProfileSetting("EmailClientSettings.RecipientsBcc", "bazianm@gmail.com")
	loJ.SetProfileSetting("EmailClientSettings.Subject", "Your invoice from Emerson Recycling")
	loJ.ConvertTo(lcFileName)
ENDIF

goQ.ReleaseCom()
	

Like I said, I think the quote is pretty straightforward. What is happening is this: When I send the report to the printer, it pops up a saveas screen. I hit SAVE, it completes the conversion, and opens PDF Architect. The job is never found in the queue.

I am using PDFCreator Professional. I have the default profile set to save automatically and I added an SMTP account to the default profile. I am NOT loading a profile so it should use the default, right?

THanks up front for your help.
