Re: printing PDF files

Hi all:

Well, my Ux Admin came through after all. He installed Acrobat5 (and did some tweaking - I'll post back with the details if they're relevant) and I changed the commands as follows:
Quote:
let #send_status = 0
let $send_cmd = 'cat /ps/tmp/edsprint/eds*.W.PDF |/opt/Acrobat5/bin/acroread -toPostScript |lp -d lp03'
call system using $send_cmd #send_status WAIT
if #send_status <> 0
Show 'Error in sending Report /ps/tmp/edsprint/edsprint.N.PDF to lp03. Status = ' #send_status
else
Show 'Report /ps/tmp/edsprint/edsprint.N.PDF sent to printer lp03 '
end-if
Looks like it worked. Thanks for the help, guys.
