Re: [Re: Automatic Printing on NT APP (Enterprise) Server]

John,

Could you tell us how you set that up?
We have done it with batch scripts
sending pdf files to Acrobat Reader, but it
sounds like you have a slicker method!

TIA,

russ

Can you show us the syntax you are using in the runube batch file? What

the RUNUBE batch file?

I was told by the JDE response line that printing RUNUBE jobs

RE: [Re: Automatic Printing on NT APP (Enterprise) Server]

Russ, I'd also be interested in more info on how you are doing it - I
have tried sending PDFs to Acrobat from the command line, without
success. There is very little information out there about the syntax
for it, and I've tried about every combination that I can think of.

Thanks,

Guys,

The following is a command line string which will automatically open adobe,
print the file, and close adobe and I have sent multiple files at a time
using a batch file with no problems.

****One important thing you need to check is that the PATH for the machine
performing the command-line call has Adobe Acrobat in it.

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 4.0\Reader\AcroRd32 /p/h/n
c:\pathofpdf\filename.pdf

/p = print
/h = hidden
/n = new, this starts a new instance of Acrobat for each file, which is
important for automation.

Hope this helps!!!

Rich
