A project I am working on sends .pdf print jobs to a load balanced printer setup.

Originally, I was using win32api.ShellExecute but was having issues with it keeping the pdf file page layout / booklet orientation. Through testing I found this issue wasn't present when sending pdf's directly through shell with the following:

"C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAcrobat DCAcrobatAcrobat.exe" /N /T "testfile.pdf" "\testprinter"

I am considering subprocess.run() to execute the command, since this is on Python 3.7. subprocess.run() will execute my command to send the print job to the print queue just fine, but the issue is since Acrobat stays open the subprocess never finishes running unless I kill Acrobat. I could add a timeout argument, but that really doesn't seem like a great solution.

Here is an example of my subprocess:

import subprocess

acrobat = r"C:Program Files (x86)AdobeAcrobat DCAcrobatAcrobat.exe"
pdf_file = "test.pdf"
printer = r"\testprinter"

result = run([acrobat, "/N", "/T", pdf_file, printer], stdout=PIPE)
result.stdout.decode("utf-8")

python pdf printing acrobat
