  Hi Terry

  If you have version 5 or above of Acrobat Reader installed on the PC then you 
can use STRPCO/STRPCCMD or RUNRMTCMD to achieve what you want.

  You need to call the ACRORD32.EXE passing it input switches /p and /h 
followed by the qualified name of the document to be printed.  For example:

       C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe /p /h 
X:\ifspath\document.pdf

  You may find it easier to encapsulate this into a *.BAT file such as:

       @ECHO OFF
       SET ACROCMD="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /p 
/h
       SET PDFFILE="C:\Documents and Settings\masonj02\My 
Documents\freelancingguide.pdf"
       %ACROCMD% "%PDFFILE%"

  You would need to ensure that either your IFS is mapped to a network drive 
for the users PC, or you qualify the full server path to the IFS document.

  Hope that helps

  Best regards

  Jonathan
