Use the Microsoft Print to PDF printer:
Code: Select all
DCPRINT ON NAME "Microsoft Print to PDF" ;
TOFILE OUTFILE (<MyfileWithPath.pdf>) ;
TO oPrinter ;
SIZE .... ;
FORMSIZE XBPPRN_FORM_A4 ;
TITLE ...

Wolfgang,
I am concerned with printing PDF files already existing on disk.

So you can try (from german newsgroup):
Code: Select all
lSuccess := ShellExecute( 0, ;
"print", ;
cPath + cFILE, ;
cPara, ;
cHome, ;
SW_HIDE)

Wolfgang,
thanks for the idea, i'll try. But isn't "print" just for printing txt files?
