Under os 9 you can tell the finder to print your files, since they are pdfs
it will launch Acrobat reader to do the job on the currently selected
printer.
Of course the print command will prompt the print window and you need to
press return to do the job, but you can overcome this using Sandi's
Addition.
So the syntax can be very simple
tell application "Finder"
print alias "your:complete:filename"
delay 1
TypeText return
end tell
If you want to do this as a folder action then the shorter way is to look in
your system for a script in the Folder Action Script called "add - duplicate
to folders" strip out some parts and activate the action at end to keep the
folder opened so that folder action can work.
