Hi Shlomo;

  I would suggest trying PB's built-in Web Browser control to both view & print the PDF.  HTH

Regards... Chris 

Thanks, that works as well.

with 2 limitations

1. The print function itself is asyncronic, so I get the control before the printer got the pdf, (that I can by pass with yield() or sleep()).
2. Most important is that the print func open the printer`s window (to choose printer & properties) and I need to print a lot of file without user ineraction.

If you know how to get rid from the printer window, it will br helpfull.

Any case, thanks on the answer, I become aware to the web control object.

Hi.

On a server you can install Acrobat Reader. This is legal. Then you can control it using OLE...

Hi Andreas

As far as I know and it was checked with acrobat (we offer to pay on licence), Acrobat Reader doesn't sopport OLE, only Acrobat Pro.

But Acronat Pro need a paid licence and doesn't have server one.

In my computer I have Acrobat Reader.

Don't have and don't use Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro... But I can use Acrobat Reader (and I have done this many times) in Powerbuilder.

Hi all,

I Apologize, but I was in vacation the last two days, so I delay.

Can you send me an example, how to call Acrobat Reader in PB?

I try via OLE, and they (and Stackoverflow) said it is bot supported.

Thanks a lot

Shlomo
