I need to be able to produce a soft copy of what I'm printing as a PDF file, then print that file to a local printer.

So far I've installed Bullzip PDF Printer which installs the PDF creator as a print device and have tweaked the options to sliently print to PDF without any user interaction. This dumps the file in a pending folder which I then need to print to a local printer, once the PDF is printed I then wish to move it out of the folder into another.

I first thought of creating a script which runs every 1 minute, I can easily move the file from the pending folder to another once printed - however struggling to find a solution to print all of the documents within the folder.

Ideally need something with a windows service or suggestions to some kind of script. Also to be free :D

Thanks guys :)
 
you could write a bat file which is started periodically by a scheduled task.

the bat file would contain a command like this: (I'm not sure the syntax is perfect but it's along these lines:

FOR %%i IN (C:\temp\*.pdf) DO PRINT /D:printer %%i
DEL /Y C:\temp\*.pdf
