How do I print PDF documents with BuddyAPI?

With BuddyAPI you can print PDF documents - you will need to have Acrobat Reader installed on the system as well (or on the CD). I have found two ways to print a PDF file. One way gives the user the print dialog box, the other just prints in the background. The two commands are shown below. -- prints without dialog vResult = baPrintFile(vFile) -- prints with standard printer dialog vResult = baRunProgram(baShortFileName(baFindApp("pdf") && "/p" && baShortFileName(vFile)), "Minimised", false)
