To print the PDF file, Martin Salias just gave me this solution on Friday, it works perfectly (thanks Martin)

declare integer ShellExecute in "Shell32.dll" ;
integer hwnd, string lpVerb, string lpFile, string lpParameters, ;
string lpDirectory, long nShowCmd

=ShellExecute(0,'Print','insert your pdf name here','','',0)
