Subject: Printing PDFs Using VFP
My client wants me to print PDF files from VFP. I looked in the archives
and found an email from Desmond Lloyd dated 2003 asking much the same
question but couldn't find a reply that answered his question.
Basically, he will be sent a series of reports in PDF format which then have
to be printed out. The obvious solution would be to have someone open each
file in turn using Acrobat Reader, press Print then move the file to a
separate directory however the quantities involved preclude that. What he
really wants is something which can be pointed to a folder of files which
will print each one in turn and create some sort of log automatically which
looks as though it would need some sort of automation similar to Word. Does
such a capability exist?
TIA
