How to print a PDF from the command line?

I want to print a PDF from a command line without displaying ADOBE READER, or if it is loaded, then minimized and to close immediately.

Doing an internet search I found this:

AcroRd32.exe /t "C:\test.pdf"

However Adobe is loaded and displayed but it does not close.

Can anyone help me out?

Regards

Lawrence

It's not possible to do that with Reader.

You can use a separate command to kill the Reader process, but the problem is you can't tell it to wait until the print command has been sent, so it's not likely to work.

Of course that is not the answer I was hoping for

It used to work that way. Adobe "fixed" it for unexplained "security reasons"...
