I am trying to control Adobe Pro (create OLE object of AcroExch) during the printing phase with a number of different options for a print shop. So far so good with a couple of exceptions:

a) If Adobe is up when we go to set the printer, I cannot, the print job comes out on the last printer used. Is there a way around this?

b) In most cases I am printing the same number of pages as before, i.e. splitting a 4000 page job into x-number of pages (in order to staple automatically at EOJ) - but the "sub-jobs" are not coming out in the spool in order for some reason.

c) The customer wants to save (to use later) and change certain settings, i.e. staple, fold, ... through my external application. These types of items are not usually in the printer DevMode, though occasionally some are. Is there a way to pass a DevMode or an extended DevMode through Acrobat object calls to reset/set different print options for a specific run?
