Hello all

I'm using the following code to print PDF using my network printer. But the problem is that I need to Install Adobe Reader 6 to achieve my task. Is there any workaround that I can print PDF's by having acrobat reader version 6.0 or more

Or any Perl modules which prints the PDF's with any version of Acrobat installed ....

use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const "Acrobat";

my $acrobat = Win32::OLE->new("AcroExch.App", "Quit");
my $avdoc = Win32::OLE->new("AcroExch.AVDoc");

my $pdfs = getPDF("/from/some/folder");

foreach my $pdf( @{$pdfs} ) {
    $avdoc->Open( $pdf, "" );

    my $pddoc = Win32::OLE->new("AcroExch.PDDoc");
    $pddoc->Open($pdf);

    my $pp = $pddoc->GetNumPages; #index starts at 0
    my $totalpages = $pp;

    if ( $pp ) {
        $pp--;
    }

    eval {
        print "Printing $pdf with $totalpages pages\n";
        $avdoc->PrintPagesSilent(0,$pp,1,1,0);
    };

    if ( $@ ) {
        print "PDF did not print due to Adobe error.\n";
    }

    $acrobat->Exit;
}

Thanks to original author for giving me a pointer to help achieve my task
