Sub Tester2a()
Shell "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" & _
" c:\toc1\amcr37-4.pdf", 1
' the following prints the document
'Application.SendKeys "^p~", False
End Sub


or if you have .pdf associated with acrobat reader:


Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Shell "Start.exe ""D:\My Documents\sm569_Jan2001\tute6.pdf"""
' Next line would print the file
'Application.SendKeys "^p~", False
End Sub
