jds,

You can find a free PDF-viewer at http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sum ... index.html.

It can be used as a automated print instruction for PDF-files.

I recalled the executable to "PRINTPDF.EXE" to be used in my application.

The source I use is :

Code: Select all

WAITRUN("..\UTILIT~1\PrintPDF.exe -Print-to-default -exit-on-print " + dNameDoc,1)
where dNameDoc contains the pathname of the PDF-file to be printed.

Good luck.
