Issue
What options can I specify when starting Acrobat/Adobe Reader from the command line?

Solutions (resolution Method)
You can use Acrobat/Adobe Reader command-line operations as is, but it is not a supported feature. We do not provide information on the use of technical support. Please understand it before hand.
The following command list is an example of Adobe Reader, but if you use Acrobat, use Acrobat.exe instead of Acrord32.exe.
-Acrord32.exe filename
View PDF files in Adobe Reader

Startup options
/n: Start Acrobat application as another instance when you are already running Acrobat
/s: start acrobat without displaying the splash screen
/o: Launch acrobat without displaying the Open file dialog
/h: Start Acrobat but do not display it (only load it in memory)

-Acrord32.exe/p filename
print PDF files in Adobe Reader
-Acrord32.exe/t path Printername drivername portname
Start Adobe Reader and print a PDF file without displaying the Print dialog box and exit Adobe Reader

Printing options
Path: File path
Printername: Printer Name
DriverName: Printer driver name (checked with printer properties)
PortName: Printer port name (do not include the letter "/")
