I want to print a PDF file from a .Net Windows application. (Kind of automating Acrobat.)
Do I have to use the IAC interface?
Do I need Acrobat Standard or Professional (or is Acrobat Reader sufficient).
Are there licensing issue if I do it on a server?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 8.0999999999999996447286321199499070644378662109375, Windows

You do need the IAC to print using Acrobat, and it can be done in any Acrobat variation, Reader, Standard, or Pro. However, Adobe makes a Print enging and there may be 3rd party PDF printing engines that are not Acrobat.

You cannot use Acrobat to do it from a server because of licensing. But if you use a 3rd party then the Adobe license is not an issue.
