Thanks for the suggestions. I am using a Xerox printer. But my actual requirement is , I have n number of PDF files and HTML files, I will have to print out these files in the Xerox printers. For all the PDF files I need to use say for example Tray 1. For all the HTML files I need to use the any other tray say for example Tray 3 (I am using different colored paper inputs). I am using VB.NET as my programming language. Please let me know your suggestions on how we can accomplish this.
Sharath,
Depending on the OS platform and specific Xerox printer, it might be possible to create different "queues" which would direct the output to the proper tray. Each queue typically is represented by a different virtual printer so your app would just print to a different virtual printer depending on the kind of paper you want. Take a look at your printer driver and see if you can create virtual printers as I describe. If you can't do this with your printer, you'll have to try some of the other suggestions I made.
In terms of VB, I suppose the easiest path would be to create the set of virtual printers and then, using VB, control Acrobat to open and print the PDF to the appropriate virtual printer. You could do this in two ways, either directly by controlling Acrobat directly through VB (IAC from VB I think) - opening each file and printing to the proper printer (hard) - or by using the Acrobat batch processing features - set up some hot folders to print to each printer (easier) - then just have the VB app copy files to hot folders.
