Requirement: Printing PDF documents

We're trying to enable printing of a series of PDF document from our application by shellexecuting the document using the "print" verb. This works ok but if Adobe Acrobat Reader is the default handler for this action then it is displayed for each document which looks pretty poor.

Has anyone got a library that will print one or more PDF files straight from code, without any visible activity on the screen?

If so please post a sample that we can try.

Thanks

Print PDF unattended
Hi, we offer a .NET component (32-bit and 64-bit support) that allows you to print PDF documents to any printer. Customers that already use our component for this purpose include Xerox, PitneyBowes and Microsoft. You will be using the standard .NET PrintDocument class so you will be able to customize anything including creating 2-up, stamp notices, etc. In the PrintPage handler you will simply be telling the PDF document to print to the System.Drawing.Graphics object that wraps the printer.
