    Angry Printing PDF Files Using Reader Only

    Please tell me this is possible. I do not have the full version of Acrobat and I really need this to work. It keeps saying it could not find Adobe Acrobat. Why would they include the OCX with reader if you could not do this? Are there any other methods to print PDFs besides this?

    VB Code:
    1. Pdf1.printAllFit True

    2. Pdf1.src = "C:\Test.PDF"

    3. Pdf1.printAll

    Well... I solved my own problem. It turns out for some reason it was still looking for the full version of Acrobat since it was installed previously. I ended up removing any version of Acrobat (including reader) and re-installing just Reader v6.0. I also copied the actual fresh OCX file to my programming directory for safe keeping. Everything seems to be working fine now.

    Just a little FYI to anyone else doing this: make sure you turn off the automatic update (Edit - Preferences - Update) and set it to manual so you don't get prompted for it when you go to print.

    A new problem cropped up. Now it will only work once, and it will leave the program running in the background. Any ideas on how to handle this?

    the pdf1.printall function simply just does not work like it should. I can call printwithdialog and then press the print button that totally defeats the purpose.
