Scheduled Task only fails to print when user not logged in

   

setting stage:
i trying print pdf reports networked printer scheduled task @ 6am daily.  i have powershell 2.0 script on windows 2008 r2 checks trigger file path folder pdf reports in , iterates on files looking 3 specific files print , prints them default printer installed network printer.  this task set run "whether user logged in or not" , set "to run highest privileges".  it set run under service account admin access user installed printer.  the code used print default printer is:

start-process -filepath "$archivepath\$($pdf.name)" -verb print  

the problem:
issue having process prints if user logged server.  everything else works, logging opening of pdf in adobe reader, everything.  it not send report printer.  if log in @ 5:55am , watch process , print spooler can see work, if log in @ 6:01am can see processes running in task manager , track log reports never sent printer.
have tried:
have tried run bat script self elevated powershell in hopes permission issue using:

set powershellscriptpath=d:\scripts\print_hfm_reports.ps1start /wait powershell -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -command "& {start-process powershell -argumentlist '-noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -file "%powershellscriptpath%"' -verb runas}";

not sure else check or change.  i not getting errors in event viewer or anywhere else.  the print doesn't work , right option @ 5:45 , log in.

that correct. shell verbs require full user interactive session.  need use direct adobe automation print pdf. post in adobe forum learn how use reader print script.
