Could you please advise me how to convert the ".doc" to ".prn" through programmatically without manual interaction. (Or) Is there any third party tool avialable for this?

Thanks for looking into this.

This can be done with JavaScript.

Here an example from the JS API reference manual.
var pp = this.getPrintParams();pp.fileName = "/c/print/myDoc.prn";this.print(pp);

Ahhh sorry,

I was misquided by your question here, cause this forum is related to Acrobat/JavaScript not to MS Word.
If you would like to contert .doc to .prn the only way, I know, is to print the docs into a file.
Maybe this can be automated with a script or macro, but that's not my cup of tea.
