I print PDF files using the following code (which prints them to the default printer): SHELLEXECUTEINFO sei; ZeroMemory(&sei, sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO)); sei.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO); sei.fMask = SEE_MASK_FLAG_NO_UI | SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS; sei.lpVerb = _T("print"); sei.lpFile = pFile; // -> complete path to file to print sei.hwnd = CDLBUtils::g_Data.m_hWnd; sei.nShow = SW_HIDE; if (ShellExecuteEx(&sei) && sei.hInstApp > (HINSTANCE)32) { // ok } else { // failed } Note1: You can change the default printer before calling this. Note2: Acrobat will launch, and may stay running even after the printing process has finished DanB
