printing in adobe acrobat

[borsker]

I am looking to print a pdf in acrobat but when I do using these commands


DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN shell32.dll ;
INTEGER hndWin, STRING cAction, STRING cFileName, ;
STRING cParams, STRING cDir, INTEGER nShowWin
myPDFFile2 = "M:\watchedpdf\out\megavippprintsheet.pdf"
=ShellExecute(0,"PRINT",myPDFFile2,"","",2)

Declare Long FindWindow in User32 ;
String cClassname, String cTitle
Declare Long SendMessage in User32 ;
Long nhWnd, Long Msg, Long wParam, Long lParam
hWnd = FindWindow(Null, 'Adobe Acrobat')
SendMessage(hWnd, 0x10, 0, 0)


Acrobat comes up and and becomes the active window. I want it to become the inactive window. I am also having trouble with it closing before the page prints. Is there some kind of way I can change theese commands in a way that will enable me to print the pdf and close it without even noticeing what was going on. BUT when I have some other pdf open, lets say Apdf and the program prints Bpdf it will not close on Apdf?

Reader or Full Acrobat? Reader means you have to try to work with shellexecute, the full version mean you could automate it.
