Print PDF files from command line

Hi,
We use the automation software RoboTask to print PDF files automatically from a Windows server.
The PDF reader we use no longer works with Konica Minolta printers and
therefore I think we need another PDF software instead. I just don't quite
know what kind of PDF software we need.
The PDF software has to support print from Windows command line, the
use of wildcards (*.pdf) and the option to add a footer to the PDF files from
Windows command line would be fine as well.
Are any of the Adobe software suitable for the job and which software in that case?
Thank you in advance.

Adobe Acrobat and Reader offer an option to print PDF files from the command line, using the following parameters (after the executable):
/t <filename> <printername> <drivername> <portname>
They don't support doing so for multiple files in a single command, nor adding footers in this process.
I don't believe any other Adobe application does, either.

Neither Acrobat nor Acrobat Reader is for server use. Adobe do not have an alternative for you either.
