printing pdf files

: I need to automate a workflow for printing a PDF file. Does
: anyone know of a way to get a PDF to output to a simple inkjet
: printer without using a separate RIP? I guess what I’m looking
: for is some sort of utility or scripting addition, but I’m not
: sure if it exists.
I have no knowledge about what you are trying to do, so I may be
[b:000] way off base[/b:000], but there’s a script which was recently uploaded to
ScriptBuilders which might be helpful. Here’s a brief description:
This script is used as a print spooler for PDF files in
conjunction with Acrobat Reader and Okey Dokey. If a PDF file
is placed in the designated folder on the “print server”, this
folder action script, based on a script by Sal Soghoian,
launches Acrobat Reader on the server and prints the file on
whatever printer has been selected in the chooser on the “print
server.”
The script is editable, so if it isn’t exactly what you need, maybe
it can be adapted.
Later,
