I am printing a pdf document from a sqr program:

call system using 'c:\program files\adobe\reader 8.0\reader\acrord32.exe /p /h c:\testpdf.pdf' #wstat nowait

The document prints ok, but it keeps acrord32 open. How do I close acrord32?

Thanks

Command line options, I believe, have never been supported to work "as advertised".

'/t' is advertised to terminate reader after print, try that. And if I remember correctly the syntax is as follows...

AcroRd32.exe /t path "printername" "drivername" "portname"

Thanks for the info.
I tried /t, but it still stays open. From what I can tell Adobe abandon that command line at version 8.
