Yes, here are some notes that were passed on previously from reportlab
folks:

Acrobat Notes:
    1.  AcroRd32.exe filename    -> Executes the reader and displays a file.
    2.  AcroRd32.exe /p filename -> Executes the reader and prints a file.
    3.  AcroRd32.exe /t path printername drivername portname
                                 -> Executes the reader and prints a file
                                    while suppressing the Acrobat print
dialog box,
                                    then terminating the Reader.

                                    The four parameters of the /t option
evaluate to strings.
                                    printername -> The name of the Printer.
                                    drivername  -> Your printer drivers name
i.e. whatever apperars in the Driver Used box when viewing printer
properties.
                                    portname    -> The printers port.
portname cannot contain any "/" characters; if it does, output is routed to
the default port for that printer.

                                    If using Acrobat, substitute Acrobat.exe
in place of AcroRd32.exe meaning:
                                        /n Launch a separate instance of the
Acrobat application
                                        /s Open Acrobat suppressing the
splash screen
                                        /o Open Acrobat suppressing the open
file dialog
                                        /h Open Acrobat in hidden mode

  Hi everybody.

  Is there any possibility to print prepared pdf file directly without
opening/runing whole Acrobat Reader  ?


  Thanks in advance
  Artur
