My experience is that you can automate printing to the default Windows printer via COM/OLE but you need to write a plug-in to do less trivial stuff. Also, to build a plug-in that works with Reader you have to fork over a not insignificant amount of money to Adobe for a key that allows Reader to recognize it.

As part of our Electronic Document Management system (EDM), we provide the ability for users to print multiple documents. This historically has been done with another proprietary viewer other than Adobe against the original/native Word or Excel document. We want to change this application to print the published Adobe pdf version of the Word or Excel document using Adobe. Does any already have a Visual Basic code snippet to open the .pdf(s) by creating an Adobe reader instance and direct them to the desired printer through the Windows printer dialog? We would only want this printer dialog to be presented to the user once not for all ten documents selected for printing.
