Hi all... I posted this in scripting and did not get any replies...hopefully someone here can help..

We have a folder on my windows machine whick we call "pdf_files." We store pdf files there. We stored the path and pdf file name in a text field in fm.(ex: c:pdf_filestest.pdf)

We then used the send message (print document) using the field value. This has been working fine for ages for us..

Recently we moved our pdf files out to the web. so the new path is now (http://www.oururl.com/pdf/test1.pdf) Now the print command does not work. It seems you cannot use a URL as a path in send message. We can use the open url command to open the file in acrobat and then print individual files. But the way we originally had it set up was to have a bunch of related pdf files and paths to show in a portal and the issue a command to print all which would then loop thru and use the send message command (print document).

We have gone round and round on this one and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Stu
