Tried to print using Adobe Reader but am getting this message: Fatal Error: Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE Server
Dim AcroRd32ExePath As String = GetAcroRdPath()
Dim startInfo As New ProcessStartInfo()
startInfo.FileName = AcroRd32ExePath
startInfo.Arguments = String.Format(" /s /o /h /t ""{0}"" ""{1}""", fileName, PrinterName2)
startInfo.UseShellExecute = False
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
Process.Start(startInfo)
'CAUTION: Adobe Reader silently rejects the print job if the printer name doesn't match case exactly
'The following switches are available:
'/n - Launch a new instance of Reader even if one is already open
'/s - Don't show the splash screen
'/o - Don't show the open file dialog
'/h - Open as a minimized window
'/p <filename> - Open and go straight to the print dialog
'/t <filename> <printername> <drivername> <portname> - Print the file the specified printer.

How do I fix it?
Had a user that had both Adobe Acrobat Standard and Adobe Reader. Turns out they had never actually opened the Reader before. All I had to do was open Reader manually and accept the license terms. Works fine!
