Hello Experts! :)

The below is the code to print an existing PDF...
shellProcess:=shellProcess.Process();
shellProcess.StartInfo.FileName:='D:\Test\Test.pdf';
shellProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow:= TRUE;
shellProcess.StartInfo.WindowStyle:= windowStyles.Hidden;
shellProcess.StartInfo.Verb:= 'print';
shellProcess.Start();

An Below Variables are used 
[b]shellProcess	[/b]DotNet	System.Diagnostics.Process.'System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'	
[b]windowStyles	[/b]DotNet	System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.'System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'

I embedded this code in the page action (to print). However, this code does not work. Meaning, that PDF reader(adobe) does not open and the document does not print. I would appreciate if anyone could help on this issue.

    In RTC you can simply use:
    HYPERLINK ('C:\temp\test.pdf')

    Your DotNet variables do not seem to be declared as Running On Client. This means your code will look for the file D:\Test\Test.pdf on the server.

    My guess is the file is located on the client.

    Dear mdPartnerNL!

    To get widowsStyles.Hidden property first you have to declare a Dotnet variable that refers [System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.... The following are the steps:-
    1. Create a DotNet Variable e.g. windowStyles
    2. Click the Assist Edit button in sub type
    3. Find System from the .net Assembely
    4. Select System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle

    If you mean System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle is not available in your PC, I guess it could be a problem in your .net Framework.

    That's what I did, I don't have the .Hidden:
    'System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle

    In the center column, click Properties and eyeball that list? You're only looking at Methods in the above screenshot.
