myspacee Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hello, in these day i try to find a way to print .pdf files in command line. Adobe allows print via command line ( /p switch) but have strange behavior. Adobe program remains open after print, and batches don't go on until you quit it mannually. So i search another solution, without luck. If you drag & drop a file over your printer, windows put file in spooler and print. Is there any way to do this, using Autoit ? thank you for any info, m.

engjcowi Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hi Yes it cna be done. Have a look at the following links http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772773(WS.10).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc782930(WS.10).aspx What issues are you getting with using the command line in adobe? i know you said it doesnt close afterwards but you can use the proccess close command to sort that.

myspacee Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 thank you for reply, already know MS resources... Adobe behavior is very strange : - if you run from command line [adobe.exe /p /h yourdoc.pdf] pdf is printed fine and command line is disposable - if you run from batch same command [adobe.exe /p /h yourdoc.pdf] pdf is printed fine but command line is not disposable (batch wait until you mannually close Adobe) can't figure out this strange issue. Very strange... m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReFran Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 If you want to close Reader after printing, the best way to print is using DDE.
