I am running Adobe Reader version 9.1.0 on Windows Vista Business SP1.

I am trying to convert several thousand pdf files into pcl macro overlays by printing to file with an HP LaserJet 4 driver.
According to Adobe's support documentation here and here I can run the following command at the command line to batch print the files:

Code:
AcroRd32.exe /t <FILE NAME> <PRINTER NAME>

The command successfully prints the pdf to a prn file but Adobe Reader stops and asks me for the output file name every time.
Is there any way to specify the output file name via the command line so I do not have to baby-sit the process?

Thank you for your time.
