hi everyone!

does anyone know ho do to this in C#:

i have a file i want to print. it can be whatever (xls, jpeg, pdf, doc... ).
i use Process class to do that:

System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
proc.EnableRaisingEvents = false;
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "order_sample.pdf";
proc.StartInfo.Verb = "print";
proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
proc.Start();


but as printing is just drawing to different device, i'd like to intercept the file, manipulate its graphics and then send the modified file to print.

i like to intercept the file because then the format of the file is irrelevant. its just another graphic...

any ideas?
