Printing PDF from Process.Start( , ) without user prompt

mg
The following .exe and its parameters work correctly from the command prompt
(it prints x.pdf without prompting the user.

acrord32.exe /t "c:\exportfiles \x.pdf" "HP LaserJet 3300 Series PCL 6" "HP
LaserJet 3300 Series PCL" "DOT4_001"

But, I have not been able to use the exe and its parameters as arguments #1
& #2 in System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt( arg1 , arg2) when runnning this
line in the code behind of a Visual Studio WebForm

I have given ASP.NET all permissions, so commands like
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("c:\\windows \\system32\\not epad.exe","c:\\ x.txt"); work fine

Can you post the code for Process.Start?

You're not handling the quotation marks properly. In addition, I removed
the "+" signs because they weren't in your command prompt version...which
you said works. Anyway, the line should be:
@"/t ""c:\exportfile s\x.pdf"" ""HP LaserJet 3300 Series PCL 6"" ""HP
LaserJet 3300 Series PCL 6"" ""DOT4_001" "";

This is now equivalent to what you stated in your first post:

acrord32.exe /t "c:\exportfiles \x.pdf" "HP LaserJet 3300 Series PCL 6" "HP
LaserJet 3300 Series PCL" "DOT4_001"
I recommend using a MessageBox to test code like this... That way you can
see what the strings will look after all the formatting is done.

Is there a way to replace c:\exportfiles\ d.pdf programatically . That is,
substitute another path before running the Start() method at runtime?
