open Acrobat reader print PDF close Acrobat reader

[Zeroanarchy]

Does anyone know of a way of opening Acrobat reader, printing a PDF and then closing acrobat reader?

So far I can get it to open the file then print but it stays open.. Does anyone have a better way of doing this?



Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32" _
Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, _
ByVal lpOperation As String, _
ByVal lpFile As String, _
ByVal lpParameters As String, _
ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

Private Const SW_HIDE = 0
Private Const SW_SHOWNORMAL As Long = 1
Private Const SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED As Long = 3
Private Const SW_SHOWDEFAULT As Long = 10
Private Const SE_ERR_NOASSOC As Long = 31



Private Sub lblName_Click()
Dim strPath3 As String
strPath3 = [Text1].Value
Call ShellExecute(0&, "print", strPath3, 0&, 0&, SW_HIDE)
End sub
