Hy,

It's possible to print PDF files directly from Navision with automation code ?

No problem with Word, excel ... but with Acrobat Reader ?!

Please, help me !

    You'll need the full version of Acrobat for that, not just Acrobat Reader.

    If you look in the download section of this site, you will find some tools to create pdf-files directly from Navision, without the use of Adobe Acrobat. Give it a try!

    If you wan´t to print directly you call

    acrobat /p file.pdf

    In Visual Basic you can use the acrobat.ocx and then
    pdf.src = file.pdf
    pdf.printall

    Hope this helps.

    greetings Ralph

    Actually, the Acrobat Reader has another switch also:
    Print file with Printer Dialog
    Shell('c:\Program Files\AcroRd32.exe /p ' + FileName,1)

    Print file to printer PrinterName, without dialog
    Shell('c:\Program Files\AcroRd32.exe /t ' + FileName + PrinterName, 1)

    You many need to surround the file/printername with double quotes (") if there are spaces in the name.
