Can Acrobat Reader be run by batch file?

I have Acrobat Reader 5.0 on an old laptop that I'm using just for an E-book reader (kind of like a Kindle...) and was wondering if I could write a batch-file to use as a shortcut/bookmark to open the book I'm reading in acrobat reader, then automatically set the page to what the bookmark says it is. Is this possible? Can I access the controls of Acrobat Reader (Specifically the page numbers) from a batch file?

Try to open a command prompt and run just this line:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /a "page=147=OpenActions" "Riftwar 3 - Darkness At Sethanon.pdf"
If that works, then the problem lies with something else in your batch, like the command that you placed before this line.
If it doesn't, then try to see what the problem is. You might need to specify the entire path to your PDF, for example.
Edit: Also, try removing "=OpenActions" from the command. It doesn't appear in earlier versions of the PDF Open Parameters reference and might cause problems with your version 5.

My application is server will run when we run the java appliation.
any suggestion? plz give me the solutions

yes you can run html file
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT is a built-in that is used in Forms to call URL from a Web Form. It works much like the similar way that a link on an HTML page works and it takes two arguments, one is URL and second one is TARGET, in your case use following.
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://channas.iil.informatics.lk:8890/forms/frmservlet?config=abc.html', '_blank');
Hope this will work for you

Running a batch file - VERY URGENT .. help

Hi people
I am attempting to run a batch file from with a JSP page.
the code i am using is:
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process process = runtime.exec("cmd.exe /c d:\\uploadfiles.bat");
This jsp file is located on the c: of a webserver.
the uploadfiles.bat is located on the d: of the webserver and the code is:
copy d:\videos\008214?.rm d:\blah
copy d:\images\008214.* d:\blah
copy d:\xml\008214.* d:\blah
cd \blah
pkzip -es -m 008214.zip *.*
copy 008214.zip d:\upload\008214.zip
del 008214.zip
If I run this batch file from a command line, it works fine, though when I try and call it through my JSP page, it doesnt do anything .. a command window just pops up for a while, and then closes.
How can I fix this ... I need this quite quickly
Thanks people

1) It is O.K. that you see nothing in that console. Its output is captured by Java and is not displayed on the screen.
In general, that console should not be visible, but actually it behaves differently according to JDK and OS versions (treat that as a feature).
2). Look at this article:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html
It it does not answer your problem, try to search the forums:
http://search.java.sun.com/search/java/index.jsp?qp=%2Bforum%3A31&nh=10&qt=%2B%22exec%22+-%22Replies%3A+0%22&col=javaforums
Questions about Runtime.exec() has been asked hundreds of times.
3) runtime.exec() can execute BAT files. It is not necessary to specify that "cmd /C".

How to run a batch file from within an Oracle 9i Form?

Hi, I would like to execute a batch file from within an oracle form - I'm assuming there's some PLSQL command I can use? I am not allowed to use any third party libraries, and I'm hoping I can get away without having to progam any C or Java to do it. I don't want to run my java program from my form, but my lecturer is insisting on it.
Can anyone help?
Thanx

How to run a batch file in a continous loop

Hi. PS noob. I need to run a batch file frequently -- possibly every one minute. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Task Scheduler can only schedule a task to run as frequently as every 5 minutes. What would a PS script look like that would
run a batch file, sleep for a minute or two, then loop? Thanks.

Problems Force Running a batch file

Hi There,
I am trying to force-run a batch file to copy files from a local NBO Appliance to the C:\tmp directory on the user's workstation. The batch file lives at c:\tmp\branding.bat.
I cant get the batch file to force run. Zen reporting advises that the batch file has distributed and launched successfully, however the files do not copy.
However, if i click on the icon for the batch file app - the files copy no problem. I have tried running Workstation Associated and (Unrestricted) User Associated as well as Workstation - Force Run as User.
Path to executable file:
%*WinSysDir%\cmd.exe
Parameters:
/c "c:\tmp\branding.bat"
Any ideas? The batch file has to refer to the P: drive as the application covers 40 different sites each with their own appliance containing source files.
Running NBO2 - ZFD 4 Agent 4.0.1.60 - Clientless
Desktop XP Workstations
Thanks
Thax

Have the app object copy the batch file to the hard drive from the
server and then run it locally. This should work with a Middle Tier server.

Running a batch file

String path = "";
path = "cmd /c start FCall.bat";
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec(path);
//proc.destroy() ; The code works fine, however, I need some help in exiting the command window. After executing the batch file the window should close. I have tried "destroy" didnt work it kills the entire process. Is there a function I am missing to accomplish this ?

warnerja,
I am compiling my program through command prompt. One of my method that contains the above mentioned code, runs the batch file. In doing so, it opens cmd.exe window. I want that window to be closed once the batch file ends running.
The path associated with the cmd.exe is the same as the path where I am compiling my java code.
Any suggestion ?

Running a Batch File on another Server with an Oracle Job

hi, i have the following code
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'test_job_bat',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '\\10.1.1.63\test\test.bat',
enabled => true,
comments => 'test bat'
END;
So i want to run a batch file, which lies on another pc in the network
The code runs, without a failure.
The bat file just contains "MD D:\bla" .
When i run the code, no bla directory is created, so it seems that the batch file never ran.
i approved read/write on the test folder. (Windows 7 machine)
any ideas?
Edited by: user1067632 on 31.05.2010 05:03

Running a batch file to invoke reports runtime

Hi,
I'd like to run a batch file at the end of every month automatically, which runs a report and sends the output in a mail. Is there a way to run this batch file without using cron job? We do not have unix environment at our place.
ThanX.

hello,
on windows NT you have the AT functionality which is basic scheduling. however if you are using the oracle reports server you can schedule the report inside the server itself.

Running a batch file inside a jar

HI all
I created a jar file , in which i need to run a batch file , so i wrote a main class to execute the run the batch file , but when iam running the jar it is searching for the given batch file out side the jar.
my code is some thing like below
     public static void main(String args[])
          try
               Runtime rt=Runtime.getRuntime();
               Process process=rt.exec("%DIRNAME%/start.bat");
   InputStreamReader reader =
                  new InputStreamReader ( process.getInputStream () );
               BufferedReader buf_reader =
                   new BufferedReader ( reader );
                String line;
                while ((line = buf_reader.readLine ()) != null)
                             System.out.println (line);
          catch (IOException e) {
                System.out.println (e);
     }so please help me.. is it the problem in specifing the path...?
are does it have any other method to read the stream functions ..
thanks in advance
sam

I don't think this will work. You could not go to a command line and enter, "%DIRNAME%/start.bat" if start.bat was inside a jar - the CLI doesn't know how to read a batch file inside a jar.
I think it would work to programmatically read the lines of start.bat (when it is inside the jar) into an array of Strings and use Runtime.exec with the array as the argument.
It would also work to extract the start.bat file, then execute it using Runtime.exec.
