Hello. Is there a reliable way of sending PDF's to print? I have been unsuccesful in get OLE automation to work with Acrobat Reader to print. I am replacing a process that utilized Word via OLE automation to create documents and print them. Word solution has been very solid, but client now wants to use PDF forms as it will result in faster processing and no MS word dependancy.

Hi Lou!
You can do this directly with QuickPDF. Here's a code snippet (in Delphi). Please read the QP-documentation which options are possible...
...
    QP := TiSEDQuickPDF.Create;
    try
       QP.UnlockKey('MyLicenceKey');
       QP.LoadFromFile(FileName);

       If QP.Encrypted > 0 Then
          QP.Unencrypt;

       prName     := QP.GetDefaultPrinterName();
       prOptions := QP.PrintOptions(2, 1, FileName);
       QP.PrintDocument(prName, 1, pc, prOptions);

    finally

       QP.Free;

    end;
...

You can do it with Acrobat Reader, too.

...
ShellExecute(hinstance,'open',PChar(c),PChar('/p ' + FileName),nil,SW_SHOWNORMAL);
// or you can hide it complete...
ShellExecute(hinstance,'open',PChar(c),PChar('/p /h ' + FileName),nil,SW_SHOWNORMAL);

Best regards,
Ingo

Thanks. I will give them both a try and report back here with my results. All I have left to resolve is my font alignment (right justify numeric collumns) problem
