>I'm writing a document printing system that prints documents in PDF form using ShellExecute (From Message 130310) . I need to be able to specify the number of copies to print. I could do a FOR loop, but that creates one job per copy and I was hoping to to specify the copies and print. I've also looked at doing Acrobat Automation, and from what I can tell you can't print via automation at all. Is there a way to set copies via ShellExecute?

You cannot specify the # of copies with ShellExecute because printing is totally out of your control.
AFAIK, Acrobat Automation does not provide a way to specify the # of copies either but it allows to merge PDF files. IOW, you can merge the same file using Acrobat Automation N times to get N printed copies.
