print pdf document from web browser
Hi,
I have a requirement to print pdf document that is showed via the IE browser without the user interaction (no print pop up required).
the automation steps will be:
(1) bring up the browser with the pdf file url, it will show the document on the browser.
(2) print the document on the default printer without pop up printer window.
I'm planing use the browser.print method to implement this. but i got interrogation issue: the browser can not be matched.
Please show me some advises.
Thanks,

Use below C# code and pass print filepath as input
// To print without open print dialog
Process p = new Process( );
p.StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo( )
{
CreateNoWindow = true,
Verb = "print",
FileName = filepath
};
p.Start( );

the Script works.
Two outstanding issues:
1) the pdf is sent to printer directly without the pop up window. but it also opened the adobe application. how to get rid of it?
2) the file path can not be the url format.
thanks very much for the helps.

I have a requirement where I need to print a document from pega but this process needs to be totally automated. Can I use the printwork activity for this and how could I automate the process so the users doesn't have to actually click print?
