Re: Printing PDF's from the Command Prompt

Thanks. I downloaded Ghostscript and it appears to be exactly what I need.

I need to print a PDF document from a scheduled task - I know that
Acrobat
has a couple of command line switches to do this, but in my testing, the
Acrobat application dialog starts and stays open even after the document
prints. Is there a library callable from Tcl that will allow me to do
this?
In addition, I need to be able print to multiple printers.

Install Ghostscript and use Ghostscript instead of Acrobat.
