Check if PDF has been sent to the printer.

Question

I am currently using ShellExecute to print PDF using the code below.

PDF is printed with other (Word) documents. However, I need them to print in a specific order, which is a problem because PDF files take longer to send.

Is there a way to check if a PDF has been sent to the printer before proceeding to the next line of code?

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
  ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, _
  ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

ShellExecute Application.hwnd, "Print", formPath, 0&, 0&, 0&`

Answer 1

There are many, and, frankly, above my skill set, but it answers your question.
