Auto print a pdf in an email?
Can Mail Print be set so that all pdf files received in email are automatically printed? This would be use for receiving faxes via email. The faxes come in as a pdf file. Thanks.

There are several options available when printing PDF files depending on which version of Acrobat you have installed. To get the best results you need to use the full version of Adobe Acrobat and enable the option 'Print PDF files using Acrobat COM interface'. This will hook directly into Acrobat allowing us to start and stop it reliably and clean up any temporary files afterwards. If you have a PostScript Level 3 printer then you may be able to spool the PDF file as a Raw document type, just add PDF to the list of 'Raw Files' in the options. If you are relying on the free Acrobat Reader software then you are likely to have problems with the Reader crashing and temporary files not being cleaned up. Unfortunately this is a result of Adobe not following the conventions for printing documents from the shell in Windows.
