Automatically printing .pdf

Post by tasdvl9 » Fri Jan 08, 2016 10:34 pm

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to automatically print a .pdf document without having to launch the document(Acrobat Reader).
Is there a way to do this if the .pdf is already created?

Thank you.

You didn't specify which platform you are on, but on a Mac you can just drop the PDF onto the print queue window, or if you keep your printer icon in the dock you can just drop the PDF onto that. Or you could make a simple Automator Folder Action to print any document dropped into the folder.

I really don't know about Win or Linux, but I'd guess there's a similar way.
