Acrobat Reader can be used as a COM object thru its Internet Explorer plugin.
When you open a PDF directly in IE, the Document object is provided
by Acrobat.
import win32com.client, time
ie = win32com.client.Dispatch('InternetExplorer.Application')
ie.Visible=1
ie.Navigate('somedocument.pdf')
while ie.Busy:
time.sleep(1)
ie.Document.printPages(1,3)
