Hi,

I would just need to programmatically print a existing and known pdf file.
there must be some shellexecute stuff. Do you know how to write it?

I'm using vb.net, but in C# will be fine too...

Thank you very much.

You need to use the Process component:

Dim MyProcess As New Process
MyProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "c:\temp\test.pdf"
MyProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "Print"
MyProcess.Start()

See an article I wrote in December 2003 at http://emoreau.s2i.com/
