how to print a PDF file in UNIX
on a PROGRESS environment, i create an invoice which at printing it must generate both the .dat for the invoice that was sent to the printer and the .dat for the PDF version. we have never printed PDF files in our lp printer until recently. i've done a bit of googling and it comes down to that i must have a PDF converter (pref Post script) then just send the converted pdf to the printer. i checked our printer setting and they read as lp -sc -d <printer name>. our unix* is on SOLARIS.
please help...

pdf::api2::basic::pdf::dict
PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::Dict(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::Dict(3pm)
NAME
PDF::API2::Basic::PDF::Dict - PDF Dictionaries and Streams. Inherits from PDF::Objind
INSTANCE VARIABLES
There are various special instance variables which are used to look after, particularly, streams. Each begins with a space:
stream
Holds the stream contents for output
streamfile
Holds the stream contents in an external file rather than in memory. This is not the same as a PDF file stream. The data is stored in
its unfiltered form.
streamloc
If both ' stream' and ' streamfile' are empty, this indicates where in the source PDF the stream starts.
METHODS
$d->outobjdeep($fh)
Outputs the contents of the dictionary to a PDF file. This is a recursive call.
It also outputs a stream if the dictionary has a stream element. If this occurs then this method will calculate the length of the stream
and insert it into the stream's dictionary.
$d->read_stream($force_memory)
Reads in a stream from a PDF file. If the stream is greater than "PDF::Dict::mincache" (defaults to 32768) bytes to be stored, then the
default action is to create a file for it somewhere and to use that file as a data cache. If $force_memory is set, this caching will not
occur and the data will all be stored in the $self->{' stream'} variable.
$d->val
Returns the dictionary, which is itself.
