Solved: How to auto print .PDF files

[Agni1978]

Incase Adobe is already installed on your machine simply use ShellExecute API.

Put this on top of all declarations

Public Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, _
ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

and simply use as

ShellExecute 0&, "open", fileFullPath, 0, "Directory", 0

The question of the original poster was ... PRINT pdf files. So you need to change the "open" command to a "Print" command.

Clicking Print command for each file is really a daunting task when there are hundred of files to be printed. The better alternate is to use FolderMill for automatic Printing PDF Files and Folders. I got it from foldermill.com It can print the entire Folders without any hassle. It really saves a lot of time while i can do other tasks.

Hello,

I suggest PrintConductor for Bulk PDF Printing if u have to print hundreds of PDFs. It lets you select the entire folder at once and print it all. PrintConductor is a good printing management software. Search PrintConductor more info
