Printing PDF from Process.Start( , ) without user prompt

[Guest]

The following .exe and its parameters work correctly from the command prompt
(it prints x.pdf without prompting the user.

acrord32.exe /t "c:\exportfiles\x.pdf" "HP LaserJet 3300 Series PCL 6" "HP
LaserJet 3300 Series PCL" "DOT4_001"

But, I have not been able to use the exe and its parameters as arguments #1
& #2 in System.Diagnostics.Process.Start( arg1 , arg2) when runnning this
line in the code behind of a Visual Studio WebForm

I have given ASP.NET all permissions, so commands like
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe","c:\\x.txt"); work fine

Can you post the code for Process.Start?

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("c:\\program files\\adobe\\acrobat
6.0\\reader\\acrord32.exe",@"/t c:\exportfiles\d.pdf 'HP LaserJet 3300 Series
PCL 6' + 'HP LaserJet 3300 Series PCL 6' + 'DOT4_001'");

BUT THIS DOESN'T WORK!

You're not handling the quotation marks properly. In addition, I removed
the "+" signs because they weren't in your command prompt version...which
you said works. Anyway, the line should be:


@"/t ""c:\exportfiles\x.pdf"" ""HP LaserJet 3300 Series PCL 6"" ""HP
LaserJet 3300 Series PCL 6"" ""DOT4_001""";

This is now equivalent to what you stated in your first post:

acrord32.exe /t "c:\exportfiles\x.pdf" "HP LaserJet 3300 Series PCL 6" "HP
LaserJet 3300 Series PCL" "DOT4_001"


I recommend using a MessageBox to test code like this... That way you can
see what the strings will look after all the formatting is done.

Your code works! Thank you very much!

Is there a way to replace c:\exportfiles\d.pdf programatically. That is,
substitute another path before running the Start() method at runtime?
