Print a PDF File from within Excel

[Bob Laba]

Is it possible for an excel macro to call up and print a
PDF file.

I had luck using the Shell command:

Sub Tester2a()
Shell "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" & _
" c:\toc1\amcr37-4.pdf", 1
' the following prints the document
Application.SendKeys "^p~", False
End Sub

or if you have .pdf associated with acrobat reader:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Shell "Start.exe ""D:\My Documents\sm569_Jan2001\tute6.pdf"""
Application.SendKeys "^p~", False
End Sub
