Topic: Acrobat Reader commandline printing problem

I am developing an application where a pdf file is generated (with dynamic text and static background image) and printed under Windows without user intervention. I am calling the Acrobat Reader with /p /h in command lines to get it printed. However, the printing job get extremely big (250k file gets 15M), apparently because the acrobat command line always print the file using postscript level 1 setting (If I print the file inside Acrobat and chose postscript level 2, the job is about 360k).

Is there any solution to get around this problem? A command line option (like -level2 in the Unix version of Acrobat Reader), or some other printing package.

Thanks!
