Using PDFCreator in command line and silent

PDFCreator PDFCreator English

Hi All

I have been trying to run PDFCreator on a command line and I am unable to produce any output. I have read the manual and how to setup Autosave/profiles, but no go.

When calling PDFCreator in a command line, I’d like to use the input path/name and output path/name.

thanks in advance.

Hello
Same situation here.
Need to open .PS file with CMD and save to .PDF to the different folder every time, without user attention.
Earler versions works with:
pdfcreator /ifPATH/filename.PS /ofPATH/filename.PDF /deleteif
Latest PDFCreator version dont wotk with this.
Thx

Edit: It is now possible to set the path for the output directly through the command line again

Hi,

this was discontinued about 3 years ago, the last version which is still capable of doing this is 1.7.3.
Here is the list of currently available command line parameters: http://docs.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator/latest/en/pdfcreator/using-pdfcreator/command-line-parameters/
Since it isn't possible to define the output location through cmd any longer, you might need to use the COM interface instead:

best regards,

Robin
