In order to CREATE a series of PDF file I started to write a class
arounf the OLE interface of PDFCreator... then I had the HD fault at
work and the notebook was stolen...

In order to PRINT a bunch of pdf files, I think you may try to
investigate the OLE interface of Acrobat Reader or foxit. At last you
may try to use ghostscript.

Look Bullzip is free.

I use PDFP. Works great.

A little more detail here: I use it from within a DOS application to
print PDF files in a batch.

It's as simple as having PDFP.EXE in your search path, and calling
"PDFP your.pdf".

Patrick,

This question was answered on this newsgroup back in March.

From the Adobe Developer Knowledgebase:

How To: Reader command line printing



Issue
How can we print PDF files through the command line without displaying the
print dialog?
Solution
As documented in the Acrobat Developer FAQ at
http://partners.adobe.com/asn/develo...DeveloperFAQ.p
df, you can use the /t command line to print silently. Please note that
there is slightly different behavior between 4.05 and 5.05.

In Acrobat 4.0.5, /t launches Acrobat Reader in a hidden context and also
supresses the Print Dialog box.
In Acrobat 5.0.5, /t launches Acrobat Reader in a minimized context in the
taskbar and suppresses the Print Dialog box.

The following command line prints test.pdf on a network printer
AcroRd32.exe /t "C:\test.pdf" "\\servername\printername" "AdobePS Tektronix
Phaser 840" "123.45.678.910"

The following command line without drivername and portname works, too.
AcroRd32.exe /t "C:\test.pdf" \\servername\printername

Best regards,
Gene

On my system, using Acrobat Reader 8.1.2, it opens Acrobat up into a window.

You can download a copy of Acrobat version 5.05 from:
http://www.shoso.co.za/download/ar505enu.exe
The older stuff is usually better!

Thanks for the pointer. Now, I tried this approach, but the Adobe
reader windows keeps popping up. So, as for the printing part, this
works, as for the "Silent" not.
