Thank you, Razzak. We have tended to use two solutions, depending on the situation:
- print the report to the printer then print it a second time to a PDF. - print the report to a PDF and LAUNCH the pdf file, relying upon the user to do the printing; there seems to be a limit of 15-20 open pdfs before Acrobat will croak. The command-line print can be put to use immediately. Emmitt Dove Manager, Converting Applications Development Evergreen Packaging, Inc.

I could never find any documentation >for the Acrobat command line switches. Emmitt, Here is a comprehensive list of all Command Line Switches for Adobe Acrobat. 01. Open a PDF file: AcroRd32.exe PdfFile 02. Open a PDF file in a new instance of Adobe Reader: AcroRd32.exe /N PdfFile 03. Open a PDF file at page 7: AcroRd32.exe /A "page=7=OpenActions" PdfFile 04. Open a PDF file with navigation pane active, zoom out to 50%, and search for and highlight the word "batch": AcroRd32.exe /A "zoom=50&navpanes=1=OpenActions&search=batch" PdfFile 05. Print a PDF file with dialog: AcroRd32.exe /P PdfFile 06. Print a PDF file silently: AcroRd32.exe /N /T PdfFile PrinterName [ PrinterDriver [ PrinterPort ] ] The last command will open a new Adobe Reader window, print the PDF file and then terminate its window unless that window happens to be the only Adobe Reader window left: at least one Adobe Reader window will be left open. Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
