Sorry, I guess my question was unclear, what I have is a database table with a number of records, for each record there is a PDF document number, a path to the PDF, and the \\printserver\printer reference where the user requires the PDF to be printed, I think this would rule out the use of WIN32. Example Table Batch Acrobat.pdf c:\cfusion\batch\ \\zz-test-web\IT-URD2 DaVinci.PDF c:\cfusion\drawing\ \\zz-test-web\AD-MAN3 Rates.pdf c:\cfusion\specs\ \\zz-test-web\ED-URA5 In each case I would like to pass the PDF directly to the printer for printer, or if that is not possible, somehow open it "silently" and have the contents printed. Any help will be greatly appreciated
