Do You have any ideas?
Could be a permissions issue - what user is apache running under? Also, you might want to try enabling the 'allow service to interact with desktop' option to see if that works. If it does, you might have to look at another solution or somehow impersonating another user to do the printing as there are security risks associated with this option. > > Marc > > On Aug 26, 1:46 am, Sam Lai <samuel....@gmail.com> wrote: >> Use python to call a PDF reader via the command line - >> >> http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devsup.nsf/docs/52080.htm >> >> http://foxit.vo.llnwd.net/o28/pub/foxit/manual/enu/FoxitReader30_Manu... >> (see the Command Line section) >> >> Depending on the complexity of your PDFs, I'd recommend using Foxit >> instead; Adobe Reader on windows isn't the most stable especially when >> it comes to open many PDFs - you might have to manually manage >> instances to make sure it doesn't eat up all your memory.
