PDF Print with ShellExecuteA

Hello,

I need help accessing external PDF files and printing them. I currently have the following workflow:I have to fill out a PDF form with form details and save it as a new PDF. Since I don't (can't) use Acrobat, I have to print the PDF using a PDF printer. With this I want to save the new PDF at a specific location.Almost everything works except saving again.

I can view or print the PDF.

- Create and save FDF file
- Rename FDF file to PDF
- Open PDF

But don't print PDF with save without displaying the save dialog. I use PDFX-Change as a PDF printer.With the following code I call up the PDF file for display
ShellExecuteA 0&, "Open", "c:\Test\Antrag.pdf", vbNullString, vbNullString, SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE

or for printing

ShellExecuteA 0&, "Print", "c:\Test\Antrag.pdf", vbNullString, vbNullString, SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE

Can someone help me?
