Command line , banging my head....


Recommended Posts

Always seem to have issues with trying to do command lines . This is what i am trying to do.

 

;this is original code
  RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\PDF2Image\pdf2img.exe pdf2img -f 1 -l 4 -i " & $avUser[$i] & " -o " & @ScriptDir & "\Packing\" & $filename & "\*.jpg")
   
   
   ;tried simplifying as I was thinking its long file names
   RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\PDF2Image\pdf2img.exe pdf2img -i C:\input.pdf -o C:\*.jpg")
   
   ;The cmdline app launches but thats it, just shows the help menu
   ;Anytips what i'm doing wrong ?

Great :)
And your question is? Just saw that your question is part of the code box.

RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\PDF2Image\pdf2img.exe -i C:\input.pdf -o C:\*.jpg")

I removed "pdf2img".

You are using a wildcard in the output parameters, but a static file for the input - could that be your issue?

RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\PDF2Image\pdf2img.exe pdf2img -i C:\input.pdf -o C:\input.jpg")
