off topic: acrobat and dde

[Severin Obertuefer]

hi

sorry for the off topic question, but perhaps there is someone here who 
can help me.

i need a html page to bee converted into pdf and then to bee printed out 
(on a windows machine) without even open the acrobat reader (in the 
foreground). I think with dde this should be possible (right?). i 
searched some acrobat dde specifications on the net, but I didn't found 
anything useful, so is there a location to download them?

if possible i plan to implement oll that stuff with python ...

thanks for help

severin

I several times tried to remote control Acrobat (with Perl, VB.NET or 
Python via COM), but never managed to even only open a document.
With Acrobat 7 it looks better, but I'm not yet as far as that I could 
tell you something useful.
Did you try makepy with the Acrobat DLLs?

if found a small script on the internet that does what I need. It uses 
dde to control adobe acrobat 7.
