c# cannot hide acrobat reader as external program

[Chus Chuscazo via .NET 247]

Hi there!
I am building fdf files and i need to print them out.
The problem is that in order to print them i have to executeacrobat reader.
I am fine with it, but the problem is that i cannot hide thereader application, it always stays in the bottom bar.
The code i'm doing is the following:

string f_fdf = @"C:\PROJECTSdotNET\PDF_XML_PDF\PDFtoXML\chus.fdf";
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.Arguments = " /h ";
p.StartInfo.FileName = f_fdf;
p.StartInfo.Verb = "Print";
p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
p.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
p.Start();

The result is the same if I take out the "Arguments bit", or the"CreatenoWindow" or even the "windowstyle". Has anyone got anyidea why that is happening? Because everywhere the solutions isalways "CreateNoWindow=true" but it's not working to me. Isbecause of Acrobat reader?
I am using Windows XP.
Thank you very much in advance.

Chus

This feature MUST be supported by the starting app. If the app always want
to show his window he can do this... and just ignore the STARTUPTINFO.

You can try to find the window handle and then call Win32-Api "ShowWindow"
with SW_HIDE
