Re: Win32ole & Adobe Acrobat Reader

Works great, thanks a lot! I’ll keep on trying the OLE way of
doing things: printing in the background could be useful too.

Here we are:

acrobat = WIN32OLE.new(‘AcroExch.App’)
doc = WIN32OLE.new(‘AcroExch.AVDoc’)
acrobat.show
doc.open(“c:\Program Files\Microsoft Space-Bearing
Paths\Are\Evil.pdf”, “ok”)
#doc.printpagesex(0, 0, false, true, true, false, true, true, true)
acrobat.exit

In order to discover the OLE Automation interfaces, I recommend this
ruby program:

Does anyone know how to retreive and change the default printer maybe?
