How to Print a PDF programmatically without the Adobe Reader Window

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to print a PDF my application. I would prefer to do it as silent as possible - no PrintDialogue | Adobe Reader Window.
Language C#
Adobe Reader 10.0
Here´s some Code:
public static void PrintPDF(string file, string printerName)
Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe";
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = @" /t /h " + "\"" + file + "\"" + " " + "\"" + printerName + "\"";
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
proc.Start();
Thread.Sleep(1000);
proc.WaitForInputIdle();
proc.Kill();
It works, but the Adobe Reader Window is still popping up -> /h (start the reader minimized) does not work.
Is there another way to hide the Window ?
Regards

Hi,
I am developing an application, which have to support a PDF print. My result after searching for the best possibilities is this snippet:
public static void PrintPDF(string path, string printer)
Process process = new Process();       
process.StartInfo.FileName = path;
process.StartInfo.Verb = "printto";
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "\"" + printerName + "\"";
process.Start();
// I have to use this in case of Adobe Reader to close the window
process.WaitForInputIdle();
process.Kill();
This is the most generic solution - it prints a pdf unless no matter wich reader is installed.
Only deficit - the Adobe Reader window still pops up. Why it does not behave like it´s alternatives (for example Foxit Reader) and print the PDF without popping up ?
