RE: STRPCCMD and AcroRd32 Questions

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh, ok....

Did you try the /t option on the acrord32.exe program?  Documentation is a little sketchy, but I think its done like this....

AcroRd32.exe /t path printername drivername portname - Initiates Acrobat Reader, prints a file while suppressing the Acrobat print dialog box, then terminates Reader. 

The four parameters of the /t option evaluate to path, printername, drivername, and portname (all strings).
	printername - The name of your printer.
	drivername - Your printer driver's name. Whatever appears in the Driver Used box when you view your printer's properties.
	portname - The printer's port. portname cannot contain any "/" characters; if it does, output is routed to the default port for that printer.

Eric,

Thanks for the reply. I have already explored that parameter. I was
thinking of parameter/input switch within the STRPCCMD PCCMD string to
close the Adobe Reader window.
