Is there a way to print/convert a file to PDF from the Command Line? If so, how?

I'm trying to do something that I imagined would be really simple, but I haven't found a good resource on how to thus far. I'm trying to do something along the lines of this:
Acrobat.exe /print inputfile.xls outputfile.pdf.
Does anything like this command exists?

For automating Acrobat there are many interfaces for programmers, but no command line like that. (Microsoft declared command lines dead almost 20 years ago, but they've been an unconsionable time a dying).

  • Is there a way to run Firefox updates on Macintosh computers using the command line?

    In our school district we have thousands of Macintosh computers that have Firefox installed (on Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.6). When a new update is released to fix security vulnerabilities it would be very helpful if our Tech Support Specialists could send out a command to all the Macs using Apple Remote Desktop to update Firefox. Is there a command that can be sent to update Firefox? If so, could you please tell me what the command is? Thanks so much for any help that can be provided.

    Certainly, but not with external interface.
    Have a look at the cookbooks. There are examples of how to use the root host object to call directly into extendscript.

  • Is there a way to print out my itunes purchases, credits (from giftcards) and what is being charged to my credit ca

    Is there a way to print out my itunes purchases, credit (from gift cards) and what amounts are being charged to my actual credit card?  I have two children sharing this account (each with their own gift cards) and I'm trying to keep it fair on who spends what....etc.  PLEASE help.  I'm losing my mind! 

    The ability to connect to the printer or the G5 over the Internet will depend on your company's network. In the good ol' days of modems, you could use a dial-up connection to access your network remotely. Now with cable connections the same can be done, but there are a number of openings that need to be made by your IT dept to allow you access and to restrict others. So you should discuss your desire to remotely connect with them. They could share the printer so that once you are connected to your network, you could use IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) to connect to the printer share and still use the HP driver.

  • Is there a way to switch between workspaces in Spaces from the command line?  I want to write a script to set up certain applications in certain workspaces (without having to do it manually each time)...

    Is there a way to switch between workspaces in Spaces from the comnand line?  I use several workspaces from Spaces, each workspace having a certain number of fixed applications running.  Rather than set all this up each time I log on, I'd like to write a script from the command line (I use gawk) to automate this. Currently I have a gawk script that, given a directory, opens a few xterms whose working directory is the given directory, and opens "preview" applied to a certain file in that directory.  However, at present I have to manually move an xterm through each workspace and run my gawk script in each workspace (applied to each directory that I'm working on).
    There must be a better way...

    Addendum: Can this be done via:   open -a Spaces --args xxx  , where xxx is some set of arguments (or something like this)?

  • Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch.  :(

    Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch. 

    There's generally no reason to be closing them that way at all. The apps you see in the recents bar are just that, apps that you used recently. Most of them are doing absolutely nothing. The only apps that are really doing anything in the background are ones that play music and ones that are using location services. Just leave them be.
    Best of luck.

  • Is there a way to password lock specific files I put on the playbook?

    is there a way to password lock specific files I put on the playbook - both media & non-media files/folders?
    ideally if a file is password locked, it can also be made hidden?
    thanks.

    from my personal perspective, a device should always be password protected. I cannot see any case where you would accept for any device to be borrowed for someone to use.

  • Is there a way to move my calendar, reminders & iMessage apps from the dock to the menu bar?

    Is there a way to move my calendar, reminders & iMessage apps from the dock to the menu bar?

    Workspaces are stored as XML files in your user profile on Windows or the user library on Mac, in a subfolder called, strangely enough, workspaces.
    You may have run afoul of the new "content grabber" in the center of a frame that allows you to move the content without changing tools. Looks sort of like a dounut, or the center spot on some SLR camera focus viewfinders. You'll either love it or hate it, and it can be switched on or off in the View menu.

  • How can I print the test page with the Arabic type from the command line

    Hi,
    I have been trying to make the tool for printing the test page from the command line on the Arabic OS. I used "rundll32 printui dll printuientry" with "/k /n" options. My tool is to print the test page in all OS when pushing the
    button.
    Normally, in the Arabic Windows, the test page is printed with RTL type when printing the test page in the "Devices and Printers". But in my tool, the test page is printed with LTR type. I'm confused because of this result.
    Is it possilbe to print the test page with RTL type when using the "rundll32 printui dll printuientry"? If it is possible, could anyone give me the hint or information for resolving?
    Please check for me.

  • Converting PST files into PDF's & the recipient can't print

    I am having the following issue with Adobe: I am converting PST files into PDF's and the recipient can view the information, but they cannot print. Actually, some information such as whether there is an attachment is displayed in the printout, but none of the actual text appears. I do not see any security settings at this end that would be causing this, but I have been assured that there is nothing on the recipients either. The same thing was happening when I sent it to a colleague here in the office.

    I discovered the problem and solution. Often PST's contain damaged text. It is not easy to deal with the damaged text. It is more efficient to have the recipient print the file as an image.Select the print tab, go to advanced, select print as image. I got the information by looking through the more specific information on the Adobe site.

  • Is it possible to convert a DWF to PDF using a command line or batch  process. How can I see this in action?

    I need to convert DWF files to PDF. Is this possible?  Adobe able to batch them and can they be converted via a batch or scheduled process. 
    We have a team placing DWF files on a network drive.  Then we need to scoop them up and convert them. Using SSIS or a C# program we can move the converted files to an archive folder.  Is this possible to do using Adobe?

    Hi pnorm,
    Please check the 'Convert AutoCAD files in batches' section in the Doc : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7f35.w .html

  • From the command line, print only page 2 and 3?

    Not possible.

  • Is there any way I can convert web pages to PDF using Acrobat X Pro in Explorer from Office 2013?

    I get the error message "Could not access Acrobat's web capture facility.  Acrobat may be busy or waiting for input."  I have Win 8 OS also. Is there any way to convert?

    I doubt that PDF Maker of AA X will work in OFFICE 2013. You should be able to print to the Adobe PDF printer, though I am not sure how AA X works in Win8, another potential problem.
    For a web site, you should be able to open the web site directly in AA X.
