Printing Thousands of PDF Files

[Ahmad Jalil Qarshi]

Hi,

I have to develop an application which will print thousands of pdf files
daily on different printers.

I am planning to use the ShellExecuteEx command with "print" as the verb to
send pdf documents to print. I want to know if its the right way or there is
some other best solution for that?

Furthermore, I have to manage the printing of pdf documents like if some pdf
document fails to print, I have to resend it to some other printer. How can
I manage this programmatically?

Thanks in anticipation.

Regards,

Ahmad Jalil Qarshi

I am planning to use the ShellExecuteEx command with "print" as the verb to

send pdf documents to print. I want to know if its the right way or there is

I recommend using a .NET library for PDF (there seem to be open source
solutions like PDFSharp), because redirection to different printers and
print job management will not be easy using plain shell commands.

Hope this helps(tm)
