Print a file in the background

[Tonester]

I want to create a presentation that will allow me to display a slide, then
print a PDF of a spec sheet in the bacground without displaying it on screen.
IE, a slide points out about print quality, then have a document print from
an attached printer to demonstrate the printers abilities without showing the
sample document on screen.

Thanks

Insert an action button and set the Action Settings to:
Run program:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" /p /h "%1" where %1
equals the full path to your pdf file.

If you're going to distribute this file, you'll be making the assumption
that everyone has Adobe installed to the default folder and if your document
is in the same folder as your presentation you may be able to get by without
the path. You'll have to try it. And it will prompt you about viruses.
