Hello,
Interesting issue - I need to print a series of PDFs (anywhere from 10 to 300) in a specific sequence to eliminate the need to sort .the printed documents afterwards
When printing using SHELLEXECUTE - (calling adobe reader with the /p /h parameters) the required sequence rarely comes up - I think that it could be dependent on the size of the PDF - some just print "faster" then others.
I have also tried using CREATEPROCESS and only submit the next job when the previous one finishes. I have even tried checking the printer queue before going to the next job.
Does anyone have any alternatives or suggestions.
Regards.
