Hi,
How can I print PDF file in background (without displaying its content)?

Regards
Piotr

Use the Microsoft Print to PDF printer:

 DCPRINT ON NAME "Microsoft Print to PDF" ;
         TOFILE OUTFILE (<MyfileWithPath.pdf>) ;
 	 TO oPrinter ;
  	 SIZE .... ;
  	 FORMSIZE XBPPRN_FORM_A4 ;
	 TITLE ...

Wolfgang,
I am concerned with printing PDF files already existing on disk.

So you can try (from german newsgroup):

Code: Select all

lSuccess := ShellExecute( 0, ;
                             "print", ;  
                             cPath + cFILE, ;
                             cPara, ;
                             cHome, ;
                             SW_HIDE)

Wolfgang,
thanks for the idea, i'll try. But isn't "print" just for printing txt files?
