I am looking for a way to print PDF files from a command line with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.  Previously I was able to do it using the following command with a Powershell script {Start-Process "AcroRd32.exe" {/t pdf_filename.pdf "printer_name"}} but it appears that with latest update to Acrobat Reader DC the AcroRd32.exe file is no longer included.  Anyone know a way to do this with Acrobat Reader DC?

The file AcroRd32.exe is part of the 32 bit version of Acrobat Reader DC.

Is there an equivilent command line processing option for the 64-bit version?  If not can the 32-bit version run on Windows 10 64-bit?

Look for the name of the 64 bit version of Acrobat Reader.
