That's what I was afraid of... the problem is that in order to do that, you
need to either be able to invisibly send the PDF to the printer or to
convert the PDF code into something that MC can use (like an image).

Would launching another app be acceptible if it was done invisibly? The
reason I ask is that most of the solutions I can think of off the top of my
head is to launch the app (like Acrobat Reader) with command-line options
that tell it to print and (I believe) to not display any interface. If you
need something completely internal to MC, I think it will be difficult.
