Batch printing

[Catarina_Soares@adobeforums.com]

I need to print pdf documents in batch mode to 3 network printers (deppending on document type I want to send it to one of the 3 printers).

I am using OLE server provided with acrobat professional 8.0, but I don´t see how to send the printer name as parameter to the printing features. I don´t want to choose the printer on a acrobat application dialog. I want to do it in my application.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you,

Catarina

Look at the printParams object in the JavaScript documentation and then read about he JSObject and JSBridge for communicating from VB or .NET languages to JavaScript.

I have already look over it but it seems to me that it writes peaces of code into the document, am I correct? If I am not, can you explain to me how it works?

I have lots of documents to print (it's a batch printing application). Don't you think it would make the process slow?

Thank you,

JavaScript can be embedded in a PDF, but you can also run pieces of
JavaScript without putting them in a document using the VB:JavaScript
interface.

Can you tell me where I can find a sample of the VB:JavaScript interface using?

Thank you,

Not sure whether a sample is needed. Is the documentation not clear?

There are samples in the SDK.
