Hello,

I have a program which opens and prints attachments. When the user presses the "Print" button, the attachment is printed automatically without Adobe opening. This is what I want to do.
The printing is no problem, but Adobe opens in the background and the taskbar. How do I get rid of that? It just won't close.

Thank you in advance.

Just to clarify: Can you close it yourself?

Thank you for your answer.

Yes I can close it myself, but that isn't supposed to happen. Is there a way Adobe does not open?

Thank you.

Perhaps if you were to tell us how your program opens and prints the attachments using Adobe it would be easier to find a solution.

If you're Shell-ing to execute the Adobe print, then you can gain access to the Process ID under which Adobe is running. With the Process ID you can use Windows DLL functions to end the process. This can get a bit tricky because you will want Adobe to finish printing before you close it.

If you're creating an object out of an Adobe Reference, e.g. Set objAdobe = CreateObject("???"), then it might be a simple matter of setting that object to Nothing when Adobe has finished printing.

Thank you for your answer, I found the solution myself by using a timer interval en the fcloseapp function.

Thanks :)

Can you please explain in detail how you did it?
