I'm having an interesting problem with Acrobat Reader 8. I have a program that has been using the command line parameters under Acrobat Reader 6 & 7 to automatically print pdfs. Here is an example of one of the commands that I use: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /t "C:\Documents and Settings\glennw\Local Settings\Temp\QuickPrint\results1165484979_2638.pdf" "ScanPoint LabelWriter 400" "ScanPoint LabelWriter 400" USB001 It follows the standard format of... acrord32.exe /t [FilePath] [Printer Name] [Printer Driver] [Port] This command works well in Acrobat Reader 6.x and 7.x. With Acrobat Reader 8.0, however (even on a fresh system), the above command will only print if the designated printer is the user's Windows Default Printer. If you try to print to a printer that is not the current windows default, Acrobat opens the document and then just sits there with a blank look on its window. Does anyone know of a good solution to this? Thank you, Glenn Wainwright
