Have you tried SW_HIDE?

No.
I dont know the correct parameter to assign a sw_hide

[HansV]

SW_HIDE = 0

[sal21]

SW_HIDE = 0

I cannot test now, naturally

[sal21]

SW_HIDE = 0

tested with =0 but Adobe Acrobat windows appear, in other case.!

Have you other method to print a PDF without Acrobat program?

[HansV]

Sorry, no.

>print a PDF without Acrobat program

If the PDF is not too complicated*, you can load it into Word and print from there. You can do all this through automation.

*If the document is complex you might lose some of the fidelity that a PDF is meant to ensure, I.e what you print out may differ in layout from the input
