look into the baPrintFile command in the buddy help. It is a cross platform
command (assuming you have the Mac xtra) that will print any file with an
extension (or creator type) that the computer understands. The application
you wan to print with MUST be installed.
We use it all the time. I always check if Acrobat is present before
attempting to print a pdf. (if baFindApp("pdf") = EMPTY AND
baFindApp("CARO") = EMPTY then). If the app is not installed to print that
file, the baPrintFile will do nothing...but I always check -- just to be
safe (and to alert the user to install acrobat so they can print the pdfs).
if you have any other questions, please feel free to email off list...
