COM Object Required?

I have a good CF puzzle for everyone.
I have just been asked by the organization's head-honcho to allow for printing (not viewing) of multiple pdf's with the click of one button.
Irrelevant sidenote: These pdf's are linkable on-screen, but reside on different mapped servers.

Anybody have any tricks up their sleeves prior to my journey?

Cheers,
W.

P.S. Forgot to mention ... still using CF7.
P.P.S. Scorpio installation is around the corner (cfpdf maybe?)

Probably take you two lines in CF8:

cfpdf action="merge" source="file1.pdf,file2.pdf" destination="printme.pdf" ....
cfprint source="printme.pdf" printer="printer string" (then various printer settings like color, size)

Thats pseudo code but gives an idea of what you could do.

Thanks Sam,

I think I'll wait for Scorpio, like you suggested.
Doing it with MX7 seems like way too much hassle.

Cheers,
W.

CF8 is the correct answer. But alternatives I've used in the past have been:

1. FDF Toolkit - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/fdftoolkit.html
2. ActivePDF - http://www.activepdf.com/products/serverproducts/toolkit/index.cfm

probably not the right answer. good luck.
