they said It's not possible, I am looking for an answer that start with, it's possible ...

Must be a way to do that, even with other products of Adobe

It prints the PDF file. You can use Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat for this.

there is somthing with AcroRd32.exe, can any one give some more details about it ?

Thank you

Okay,

Now I can print using AcroRd32.exe,

is there a way to know when I can kill the process ?

maybe a paramter that I can send to the AcroRd32.exe - and get back the status ?

or even better - is there a way to ask AcroRd32.exe to step down once the printing is finished ?

Many thanks for you help !

Why want you kill the process?

There is no command line option to close the document or quit Acrobat after printing. Didn't used to do this, but now we are stuck with it. So just manually close the document when you are done with the automatic printing.

Try this "timeout 4 & taskkill /f /im acrord32.exe"

Try with a loop and kill AcroRd32
For %%d in (%WorkDirectory%\in\*.pdf) do start AcroRd32.exe /n /s /o /h /t %%d PDFCreator & timeout 4 & taskkill AcroRd32.exe
