I believe you would add "/p" after the "/t /n" switches you already have.
I haven't had any luck trying to get that option to work with the "start" command where the reader program isn't specified directly, but I haven't tried very hard either. Your command using start might look like: -0START "PDF Document" "\\servername\Converted Docs\LIVE\COMBINDED PACKSLIP 846235_2.pdf" Again, that doesn't open the print window. -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Bruce Conway - Bamac LTD Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2013 2:34 PM To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] How do you print a ".pdf" from inside a Unix Box Then do you have the command that will actually automatically print the document?

I have used the acrobat reader switch to automatically print before (bringing up the Windows printer dialog, I mean to say), but not with the "start" command - never had a good reason to, most people want to preview what they print anyway. I did use it back when I called the acrobat reader program directly. I switched to "start" because that kept me from having to worry about where the reader program was located and what it was called - that gets changed a lot I've noticed. -----Original Message----- From: <mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org> u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [ <mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org> mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Bruce Conway - Bamac LTD Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2013 2:15 PM To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] How do you print a ".pdf" from inside a Unix Box Oh Dave, This just opens the window.

We have been executing a SB command to windows to open Adobe and print the PDF document.
