I wish to print a PDF document, unattended, using LAUNCH.
What is the command line for acrobat to automatically
print a document (with print queue specified)?

Emmitt,

Ask and you shall receive!

Here's how:

Example 01: (If using Adobe Acrobat 5.0)

SET VAR vQuotes TEXT = (CVAL('QUOTES'))
SET VAR vPDFFileName TEXT = 'MyPDFFile.PDF'
SET VAR vPrintString TEXT = NULL
SET VAR vPrintString = +
(.vQuotes+'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe|/p /h' +
&.vPDFFilename+.vQuotes)
LAUNCH &vPrintString
RETURN

Example 02: (If using Adobe Acrobat 6.0)

SET VAR vQuotes TEXT = (CVAL('QUOTES'))
SET VAR vPDFFileName TEXT = 'MyPDFFile.PDF'
SET VAR vPrintString TEXT = NULL
SET VAR vPrintString = +
(.vQuotes+'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe|/p /h' +
&.vPDFFilename+.vQuotes)
LAUNCH &vPrintString
RETURN

Enjoy and make sure to have fun!

Very Best R:egards,

Razzak.
