Solve : Printing PDF files from DOS batch file?

Answer»

We have been trying to use the same commands we use for PCL FILES (PRINT, NPRINT, COPY) to print our new PDF files and all we get is garbage.

Now I understand the difference between the PCL print stream type files and the PDF image type files, but have not been able to find the BATCH command to print the later.

Details - PC OS is Windows XP on a Novell network
PDF created out of Oracle DocuCreate batch forms processing system
Need to print multiple files out of a batch job on a daily basis

Can anyone help?Are you using a PDF to PCL converter?
You can GOOGLE PDF to PCL and find some free downloads, otherwise the server software is about $300.

Is it necessity to do it room the command line in a batch?
Look here: http://www.robvanderwoude.com/printfiles.php
About half way down the page find PrintPdf.bat and see a rather INVOLVED batch file the invokes the adobe reader from the command line. But it has a catch. Somebody has to close the reader when done.


Hope this is of some help.
