Hi,I'm trying to print a PDF my application. I would prefer to do it as silent as possible - no PrintDialogue | Adobe Reader Window.Language C#Adobe Reader 10.0Here´s some Code: public static void PrintPDF(string file, string printerName) { Process proc = new Process(); proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"; proc.StartInfo.Arguments = @" /t /h " + "\"" + file + "\"" + " " + "\"" + printerName + "\""; proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true; proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true; proc.Start(); Thread.Sleep(1000); proc.WaitForInputIdle(); proc.Kill(); }It works, but the Adobe Reader Window is still popping up -> /h (start the reader minimized) does not work.Is there another way to hide the Window ?Regards

Hi,

I'm trying to print a PDF my application. I would prefer to do it as silent as possible - no PrintDialogue | Adobe Reader Window.

Language C#
Adobe Reader 10.0

Here´s some Code:

	public static void PrintPDF(string file, string printerName)
	{
	Process proc = new Process();
	proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe";
	proc.StartInfo.Arguments = @" /t /h " + "\"" + file + "\"" + " " + "\"" + printerName + "\"";
	proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
	proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
	proc.Start();
	Thread.Sleep(1000);
	proc.WaitForInputIdle();
	proc.Kill();
	}

It works, but the Adobe Reader Window is still popping up -> /h (start the reader minimized) does not work.

Is there another way to hide the Window ?

Regards

Hi,

you mixed up the commandline options, so:

AcroRd32.exe /h /t "......."

should work (at least until v9..)

HTH, Reinhard

PS: simple test under START->EXECUTE: AcroRd32.exe /h /p "c:\Test.pdf"

where /p stands for print to standardprinter

Correct - this is so that users don't have stuff printing out of their printers w/o their knowledge.

Using standard Windows techniques for hiding windows or opening apps minimized, if you must.

Hi,

I am developing an application, which have to support a PDF print. My result after searching for the best possibilities is this snippet:

	public static void PrintPDF(string path, string printer)
	{
	Process process = new Process();
	process.StartInfo.FileName = path;
	process.StartInfo.Verb = "printto";
	process.StartInfo.Arguments = "\"" + printerName + "\"";
	process.Start(); // I have to use this in case of Adobe Reader to close the window
	process.WaitForInputIdle();
	process.Kill();
	}

This is the most generic solution - it prints a pdf unless no matter wich reader is installed.

Only deficit - the Adobe Reader window still pops up. Why it does not behave like it´s alternatives (for example Foxit Reader) and print the PDF without popping up ?

Regards
