What i want to do is use, python COM to fireup Adobe and print the pdf 
file to a printer.

import win32com.client
import pythoncom

pythoncom.CoInitializeEx(pythoncom.COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED)
acro = win32com.client.DispatchEx('PDF.PdfCtrl.1')


The above does not work, Do i need to install the SDK as well ?

I'm new to this COM stuff as you can guess.
