Nice that Miyako made a plugin especially for you and your situation to print a
PDF. I’m sure you will get it working.
There is another option. Use Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows. It has always had
a “hidden” feature where you can control it from the command line and have it
open and print a PDF. I’ve been using it for years on Windows.
Here is some example code:
$adobeReaderProgramPath_t:="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Reader
10.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe"
$printerName_t:=Get current printer
// issue the print command to Acrobat Reader
$adobeReaderProgramPath_t:=Char(Double
quote)+$adobeReaderProgramPath_t+Char(Double quote)
$documentPath_t:=Char(Double quote)+$documentPath_t+Char(Double quote)
$commandLineParameters_t:=" /t "
SET ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE("_4D_OPTION_HIDE_CONSOLE";"true")
LAUNCH EXTERNAL
PROCESS($adobeReaderProgramPath_t+$commandLineParameters_t+$documentPath_t+"
"+$printerName_t)
