Print PDF file with Acrord32.exe /t command

[Domenico Briganti]

Hi
(scuse me for my english ma mi sto arrangiando :)
In internet I found this command for print a pdf file in a desiderated
printer:
AcroRd32.exe /t path printername drivername portname - Initiates Acrobat
Reader, prints a file while suppressing the Acrobat print dialog box, then
terminates Reader.

This command run corretly bat Acrobat 6 (on WinNT4sp6) remain open.

Why?

Thanks in advance

I did some testing:
On both Acrobat Reader 5.0 and the full Acrobat 5.0, you can use:/t
"c:\12pag A4.pdf" "Generic PostScript Printer"
AdobePSGenericPostScriptPrinter "c:\temp.ps"

It looks like that Acrobat will terminate, but it will stay in memory.

On both Acrbat Reader 6.0 and the full Acrobat 6.0, the command also
works. But Acrobat will stay on the taskbar.

Conclusion: Acrobat never terminated.

Maybe someone else has a solution?

Build a batch file containing two lines:
- your Acrobat /t command
- a PSKill line
see SysInternals PSKill:

On Windows XP you can run TaskKill

Yes, but you wait to Acrobat print the document before kill this. And this
pause depend from number of page to printer.
