Is it possible to AUTO PRINT when opening PDF with a specific file name?

Hey all
Is it possible to AUTO PRINT when opening a PDF with a specific file name?
I ask this as I always have to print invoices that are PDF's for my business that are saved as file name
orders.pdf

Is it possible to automate the system so whenever I open a PDF file titled orders.pdf that it prints everything on the pdf without me having to click print?

Just thought it might shave of a little bit of time each day and teach me something new on my iMac.

TA!

This is easiest to do with some AppleScript, but I don't know of a way to trigger a script on opening a file with a specific name in a specific folder. What you CAN do is create a Folder Action that does something like this:

Triggers on adding new documents to the folder
Opens each new document added and prints it
Moves each new document to a "processed" folder

... which accomplishes more than what you want, and requires fewer steps on your part.

You can also create a droplet application via Automator or Applescript. Just drop the PDF(s) on the icon, it will open, print, close.. or whatever you wish.
You can drop more than one pdf at a time too. I use this functionality quite a bit when converting AVI movies into MOVs.

Good luck!
