I need to be able to create text commands (a batch file, etc.) to print out selected page numbers from a PDF. I can have it go to the default printer.
I need the command to print one to complete (spooling, not actual printing) before the next one is started.
I have access to command line batch files, VBA, and VBScript. This is in Windows XP.
Thanks,
Dagonee P.S., I have Adobe Acrobat 6.0, not just the reader.
If you didn't have to print specific pages, you could write a batch file that would simply print to the default printer, and then set your PDFWriter to the default. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a option to select pages within the print command-line.

Tom, the program doesn't do what I need, but that link started a chain of web searches that got me the documentation I needed to figure out how to use COM automation to do it.

Well, I am actually trying to edit some test questions on a math book cd. I can copy and paste the text, but not the pictures(graphs). It would save me a lot of time if I could.
(When I just saw that "headline" on Yahoo News, I couldn't stop giggling.)

Do you know how to take screenshots of a program?
Zoom the acrobat viewer so the picture is the size you want, and entirely on the screen. Then hit PrntScrn. Open up Paint or some other image editing program, choose Edit > Paste from the menu, and then crop the image to just the portion you need. Copy and paste that into a Word document and you've got it.
