Hello !

We have a big client application (written in Delphi) which uses DDE extensivelly to handle printing tasks. It works fine with Reader 6.x, 7.x and 8.x but we are unable to make it work with the latest Reader 9.0.

We create an instance of Adobe Reader as an OLE object and control it using DDE but this method seems to fail with the new Reader 9.0's in-proc instances. (We need DDE FilePrintTo to direct printing to different devices without any user interaction ...)

Anybody else experiencing similar problem ? Is there any workaround available ?

Thank you for any suggestion ...
