I want to print the file from my perl program without launching Adobe
Reader.
this PerlMonks post could be of help:
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=824842
basically, 3 different approaches are mentioned there:
1. use Win32::OLE
2. use system() to invoke Reader (hint: add the /p parameter)
3. use Win32::API and ShellExecute (that's basically the same thing as
right clicking on the file from the explorer)
note that in all 3 cases Adobe Reader *is* launched, just not visible.
which also means it must be installed on the machine that has to print
the PDF, otherwise it won't work.
hope this helps!
cheers,
