[reportlab-users] Printing through Adobe Reader - shutdown

[Reed O'Brien]

not sure about shellExecute but you might be able to call taskkill / 
IM acroexeName.exe to kill it.
or instantiate ie (privided by the plugin) print quit...

from win32com.client import Dispatch

ie = Dispatch("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.Navigate(path_to_pdf)
ie.Document.printPages(1,3)
ie.Document.printAll()
ie.Quit()

Works with Acrobat reader 7 as tried above.
