Re: How to Print a PDF programmatically without the Adobe Reader Window
Any application, once executed, can print to any printer the machine has access to without user interaction. Adobe reader has no special magic privilige to do so, hence you are not improving security, you are just restricting automation of your software.
Agreed. However, since the automation of our software is a common operation that has been used in malicious ways, we chose to prevent that. Thus we are improving the security of our software.

This new behaviour has also broken the file association verb "Print", in that it now causes Adobe to open, show the document momentarily, close the document, but leave Adobe Reader running.[/quote]
Yup – see above. And Reader has always remained running after an operation, for a specific period of time, for a variety of reasons.
