Powershell Print PDF Command

Hello I'm Aymeric, and I'm here to help !

Because you want to print PDF files, the classic "Out-Printer" PowerShell command will not work. The "Out-Printer" command only works for txt files.

You can use this command in order to open a file and send the command to print :

Start-Process –FilePath “C:\Users\youruser\Desktop\myfile.pdf” –Verb Print

Basically, it tells to start the default app to open the file and print it (using Powershell's verbs).

Feel fee to ask if you have any other question !
