Hi Sathish and Mahesh Thanks for the reply, I searched and found out the same. But this time I was able to print document while it was on my D drive,when I tried printing the document after including it in the solution, it threw an exception saying "file could not be found. and so can not be opened". The document is stored in a folder named "Document" and the code is Here I am reading the file path string path = "/Document/filename.PDF"; System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(); startInfo.Arguments = " /t "" + path + "" "" + printerName + """; startInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\acrord32.exe"; startInfo.CreateNoWindow = false; startInfo.UseShellExecute = true; startInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden; System.Diagnostics.Process process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(startInfo); process.WaitForExit(30000); if (process.HasExited == false) { process.Kill(); } Thanks in advance

Here is one library http://www.dynamicpdf.com/Dot_NET_Dynamic_PDF_Components_Libraries_PrintManager.csp

Mahesh Chand · Answer

That's what I thought what MSDN posts say from Microsoft guy. There is no direct way to print a PDF from C#. You can either launch the Adobe and then use its print feature. BUT if you MUST print without launching the Adobe reader, I suggest you look into a third-party library such as DynamicPDF or ExpertPDF. These APIs allow you to read, print, edit etc in PDF documents.

Hi Mahesh The pdf document to be printed is stored in the application directory only ...and I need to print it programmatically. Thanks

Mahesh Chand · Answer

In your application to work with PDFs, are you using any third-party API or library?

Nivedita · Answer

Yeah programmatically...

Suthish Nair · Answer

Do you want to do this programatically? Why don't explain your query with proper informations.
