Printing to a pdf printer programmatically

Question

I am trying to print an existing file to PDF programmatically in Visual Basic 2008.

Our current relevant assets are: Visual Studio 2008 Professional Adobe Acrobat Pr

Answer 1

Similar to other answers, but much simpler. I finally got it down to 4 lines of code, no external libraries (although you must have Adobe Acrobat installed and configured as Default for PDF).

    Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo
    psi.FileName = "C:\Users\User\file_to_print.pdf"
    psi.Verb = "print"
    Process.Start(psi)

This will open the file, print it with default settings and then close.
