Open pdf file failed

I want to open a pdf file with Adobe Reader. I used this code shown here, but it doesn't open it. I do see the Adobe Acrobt Reader in the proccess list in Task Manager, but it does not show the window with my PDF file:
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(AdobPath);
startInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = false; ;
startInfo.Arguments = string.Format("/A \"page={0}\" \"{1}\"", pn, PdfPath);
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo = startInfo;
process.Start();
if (process.HasExited == false)
process.WaitForExit(10000);
process.Close();

Currently working on my project and need some help ...want to save my command line info or text in Text File through c#

System.Diagnostics.Process process1;
process1= new System.Diagnostics.Process();
process1.EnableRaisingEvents = false;
string strCmdLine;
strCmdLine = "/k " +textBox3.Text;
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("CMD.exe",strCmdLine);
This will run a command on cmd ..
Want to save that CMD command text on text file..
Using this for save but not working..
ProcessStartInfo PSI = new ProcessStartInfo();
PSI.FileName = "c:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\cmd.exe";
PSI.RedirectStandardInput = true;
PSI.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
PSI.RedirectStandardError = true;
PSI.UseShellExecute = false;
Process p = Process.Start(PSI);
string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
StreamWriter st = new StreamWriter(#"C:\test.txt");
st.Write(output);
st.Close();

Try this
using System.Diagnostics;
Process.Start("cmd", "/k " + textBox3.Text + #" > C:\test.txt");

Installation using wceload and /noaskdest /noui

I am installing cab file of my application using wceload.exe. When my application already exists it gives message "My application is already installed.Reinstall?" How to avoid this message? Cab file installation launches when I use
ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo();
info.FileName = #"\windows\wceload.exe";
info.Arguments = "\\My_Installer.cab";
Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo = info;
proc.Start();
proc.WaitForExit();
When I use
info.Arguments = "\\My_Installer.cab /silent";
or
info.Arguments = "/noaskdest /noui \\My_Installer.cab";
nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Here is complete solution, if it will be necessary for somebody:
ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo();
System.Xml.XmlDocument doc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
Process proc = new Process();
// uninstalls application
doc.LoadXml("<wap-provisioningdoc>" +
"<characteristic type=\"UnInstall\">" +
"<characteristic type=\"MyManufactuer MyApplication\">"+
"<parm name=\"uninstall\" value=\"1\"/>" +
"</characteristic>" +
"</characteristic>" +
"</wap-provisioningdoc>");
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ProcessConfiguration(doc, false);
// installs application
info.FileName = #"\windows\wceload.exe";
info.Arguments = #"\My_Installer.cab";
// start the process
proc.StartInfo = info;
proc.Start();
proc.WaitForExit();

How to print pdf file using windows service

I tried to print a pdf file from my windows service.It didnt work.Later i wrote a console app to print a pdf file.Console app did work!.Afterwords i i called that console app from service to print pdf file it didn'work. Why is that "print" doesnt work with windows service? following are the code snippets i tried
1.Used adobe reader:
PdfReportGeneration.Log logs = new PdfReportGeneration.Log();
logs.writeLog("PrintDocument filepath:-" + filepath);
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = filepath;
process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
process.StartInfo.Verb = "printTo";
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "HP LaserJet P1005";
process.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
process.Start();
process.WaitForInputIdle();
process.Kill();
2. Used foxit reader/adobe reader both didnt work
string sArgs = " /t \"" + filepath + "\" \"" + "HP LaserJet P1005" + "\"";
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.FileName = #"C:\Program Files\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\Foxit Reader.exe";
startInfo.Verb = "printTo";
startInfo.Arguments = sArgs;
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
System.Diagnostics.Process proc = Process.Start(startInfo);
proc.WaitForExit(100000); // Wait a maximum of 10 sec for the process to finish
if (!proc.HasExited)
{
proc.Kill();
proc.Dispose();
// return false;
}*/
Done a lots of google bing yahoo.. no use!!

Service is usually run by different account. I would try to run service as user. Could be a problem that system user doesn't have mapped that printer. Service install class would look like this:
[RunInstaller(true)]
public class ServiceInstall : Installer
{
public ServiceInstall()
{
ServiceInstaller serviceInstaller = new ServiceInstaller();
ServiceProcessInstaller serviceProcessInstaller = new ServiceProcessInstaller();
serviceProcessInstaller.Account = ServiceAccount.User;
serviceProcessInstaller.Username = "User";
serviceProcessInstaller.Password = "Password";
serviceInstaller.DisplayName = "Some Service";
serviceInstaller.StartType = ServiceStartMode.Automatic;
serviceInstaller.ServiceName = "Some Service";
this.Installers.Add(serviceProcessInstaller);
this.Installers.Add(serviceInstaller);
}
}

PdfFilePrinter.Print still launches the Adobe Acrobat reader even if CreateNoWindow is true

somehow, with Adobe Acrobat X, PdfFilePrinter cannot prevent Adobe from silently printing PDF pages.
here's my code:
PdfFilePrinter.AdobeReaderPath = PDFExecPath;
var printer = new PdfFilePrinter(this.documentPath, this.printer);
printer.Print();
here's the PdfSharp's source:
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.FileName = PdfFilePrinter.adobeReaderPath;
string args = String.Format("/t \"{0}\" \"{1}\"", this.pdfFileName, this.printerName);
//Debug.WriteLine(args);
startInfo.Arguments = args;
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
startInfo.ErrorDialog = false;
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
if (this.workingDirectory != null && this.workingDirectory.Length != 0)
startInfo.WorkingDirectory = this.workingDirectory;

solved:
PdfFilePrinter.AdobeReaderPath = PDFExecPath;
var printer = new PdfFilePrinter(this.documentPath, this.printer);
printer.Print(1000);
The Print(int milliseconds) overload kills the adobe acrobat program.
