Need Help??

in thread Win32::OLE and Adobe Acrobat

I've used this module and it looks like this is the best way to do what I need to do. The problem is getting the PDF to print on its own without the user having to open the file and print it. I've looked in to Win32::Printer but unfortunately it looks like the ppm from ActiveState is corrupted. It wont install. I tried downloading it from CPAN and installing it using nmake but since I don't have a compiler it blows up. Wasx.net looks like its dead so I can't get it from there either.

AcroRd32.exe /t path "printername" "drivername" "portname" 
Initiates Adobe Reader and prints a file, whose path must be fully spe
+cified, while suppressing the Print dialog box.

I know it's not OLE, but it ought to work :-)

Also, there's another version of the Win32::Printer ppm in the Kobes repository.
