How to print a pdf file to the default printer?

[Robert Dufour]

I have a file c:\test.pdf that I simply need to send to the default printer
from within my vb.net code
I've been seeing samples that show how to print text to a printer and they
handle page counting etc.
All I need to do is just to pick up the whole PDF file and give a command to
print it but I can't put my finger on how to do that. The printer is
actually a document converter that will save the PDF file as Tif file in
another folder. I tested the driver by using the Print command of adobe
acrobat and it gives me the results I want. All I gotta do now is to just
send the file to be printed to this driver that is the default printer on my
system.

Thanks for any help,
Bob
