Printing Script question ???

Post by TeddyTed »

Hey fellas,

Got a quick question and I’m hoping someone could help out with the issue.
Basically, I’m wondering if it’s possible to create a script which would batch print the contents of a folder on the network as well as the contents of all subfolders.
The main folder is shared within a workgroup and contains about 30 subfolders which all contain a single PDF document. The documents are updated weekly and needs to be printed and the end of the week.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.



Thanks,

- TB

It should be possible to do, Acrobat can be accessed via the command line & print w/out the gui or the printer dialog using the /t switch and file path.
AcroRd32.exe /t "C:\test.pdf"
A script here:
