Printing a PDF in C#

[cybertof]

Hello,

Is there an easy way to directly print a .pdf document from a c# app ?

Regards,
Cybertof.

Do you mean printing or creating

If you want to create, I advise you check out sourceForge.Net and look for iTextSharp, it's an open source PDF writer for C# you'll need csharziplib as well for it to work, you can find that in sourcforge.net too)

I mean "printing" (not creating...).

Is Acrobat Reader a Com Object usable outside from Internet Explorer ?

Any other solution ?

You'll probably need to DDE to acrord32 - there once was an activex object,
but it seemed to dissappear somewhere between 4.0 and 6.0....
I once tried to do something similar - actually I was trying to print from
vbscript in a web-page, but my code ceased to work after upgrading to Reader
5.0...
