Print pdf silent

[jparada]

Hi,

Until yesterday I had not heard about AutoIt, I was looking for information on how to print a PDF file silently, and that's how I found the code below.

from here:

#include <DDEML.au3>         ;<= load down from examples
#include <DDEMLClient.au3>   ;<= load down from examples

$FnToPrt = "C:\Test.pdf"

ShellExecute("AcroRD32.exe","/h")
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
WinWait("Reader","",10)
sleep(500)
$szService = "Acroview"
$szTopic = "Control"
$szCommand = '[FilePrintSilent("'&$FnToPrt&'")][AppExit()]'
_DDEMLClient_Execute($szService, $szTopic, $szCommand)

But I know nothing, as I already said before, I download AutoIt v3 and installed it on my Windows Vista 64 bits, I copy and save the code above, with the extension AU3, and run script option, select my file print_pdf.au3, and shows me an error ...."# <DDEML.au3> include Error: Error opening the file.

I do not know anything about AutoIt, I came here because of the need to print a pdf file in silent mode.

I very much appreciate if someone could help me and comment what is wrong with the script, and how to fix.

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Javier

You are missing 2 files. DDEML.au3 and DDEMLClient.au3

It took some searching in old posts but I finally found them

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=18227

Now there may be other issues.

First extract those files to the same folder as your script and change both of those #include lines by changing < and > to "

Example

#Include "DDEML.au3"

That is very old code and if you read this thread

you will see that it had some issues which may or may not have been resolved. All you can do is try it.
