Philip, The pdfp program looks as if it is a wrapper around the reader. The "C" source is available at. A little work and I guess you could add in print ranges:

It uses the Adobe SDK and the DDE Interface to print - I know, you thought DDI was dead didn't you! Also the guy who wrote it has his own website so look at http://www.esnips.com/web/PDFTools (you can also download the latest pdfp there) and www.Print-Conductor.com where you can download his software Print Conductor Software which allows you to get at the printer features as well simply using the command line. I must admit I can't vouch for the features or if the software will do your job, but it may well be a good start. I used the "Batch Print" software from there to print out batches of PDF's and it worked fine but I don't know if it allows you to print out a page range - it was a couple of years ago now. At least it will give you a start.

I'm looking for an alternate to Reader to print the actual PDF from VFP (not to a pdf). Anyone else know of an alternate to API calls to Adobe Reader or how to get Adobe Reader to work in Automation?
