I print PDF files using the following code (which prints them to the default
printer):
SHELLEXECUTEINFO sei;
ZeroMemory(&sei, sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO));
sei.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
sei.fMask = SEE_MASK_FLAG_NO_UI | SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
sei.lpVerb = _T("print");
sei.lpFile = pFile; // -> complete path to file to print
sei.hwnd = CDLBUtils::g_Data.m_hWnd;
sei.nShow = SW_HIDE;
if (ShellExecuteEx(&sei) && sei.hInstApp > (HINSTANCE)32) {
// ok
} else {
// failed
}
Note1: You can change the default printer before calling this.
Note2: Acrobat will launch, and may stay running even after the printing
process has finished
