DNG converter 4.5, command line broken

Hi,
The command line feature of the DNG converter appears to be broken on the latest version (4.5).
Version 4.4.1 still functions OK...
Anyone got a clue?
Greetings,
Auke

Yes there is a problem with 4.5, I is using it togheter with Downloader Pro and have recieved this from the developer:
It appears to be a bug in Adobe's DNG Converter: the -o command line option appears to be broken. This document lists the command line options: http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/pd...ommandline.pdf
If you type in the same command line options as DLPro's plug-in is using in a "Command Prompt" window Adobe's DNG Converter fails to create the DNG file using the pathname specified using the -o option. As far as I can see -o works if the output filename is specified but fails if a full pathname including the directory is used.
Unfortunately there isn't much I can do about this as the problem is caused by a bug in Adobe's software.

Need help to convert GUI to command line

Hi Guys ,
Need some help with respect to scripting
I am working on a Unix platform(sun), where in I am asked to invoke table menu via command line which has lots of option like STATUS, REPORT ….
It goes like this
After login in to unix box , I am entering “yct”
It brings me a table with lot of option , I need to scroll down and then select “Report “ which display the report
Is it possible to for me to convert this entire action in to a single unix commad or can i call it via script.

Actually WIndows NT has always run Unix (Posix) which was the original Linux before Linux. Posix used to come on the CD/Disk set. MS eventually dropped Posix from the box. Now we just load almost any version Linux into a VM.
I am surprised at how many new young users think that Unix is a Microsoft product. THey think theonly competitor is Apple so Unix must be Microsoft. Funny thing that Mac is Unix. OS/X was named for Jobs advanced version of Unix called "neXt" or "X".
The board bought it but wouldn't allow the name.
The problem that jobs solved with Unix was getting rid of X-Windows in favor of the Mac Windows API on Unix. Mac API is very close to the WIndows API. They share the same philosophy. X-Windows is completely backwards and very
difficult to design with.
It is interesting that in Unix the users question has an answer evry much like a PowerShell solution. We would pipe the data to a formatter which would generate a table (Format-Table) or a list (Format-List).
I no longer remember the commands to convert a data stream or data file into a report.
cat? grep? list? mtable?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"at" command line broken in 10.10.3? I get "at: cannot regain privs: Operation not permitted"

After updating to Yosemite 10.10.3, I notice that I can't use the "at" command from the command line in my account. I get the error:
at: cannot regain privs: Operation not permitted
It does seem to work if I sudo, but I have some scripts which I don't want to change.
I don't need to do this very often, so something else other than the 10.10.3 update may have triggered this problem.
Solution?

Linc,
I tried creating the at.allow file, and it didn't help. It still gives me the same error message. Any other ideas?

Can I convert Word 2003 to PDF using Command Line

Hello All,
We have a document generation tool which generates documents in Word 2003 format. The document generation is initiated by the user and the process of generating document is on a remote server. The word file is sent back to the user in word format.
We would like to convert this doc file to PDF/A format. And we would like to do it programatically, may be using command line arguments. Is it possible?
Realistically, it is not possible that all the users will have Adobe writer installed in their desktops. In this case, it is possible that Adobe writer is installed in a server and the documents can be converted remotely using command lines?
Your support on this will be very helpful for us.
Thanks & Regards
Irfan

Latest DNG converter not working in command-line mode

Today I downloaded Adobe's latest DNG converter. It is failing with both .NEF and .CR2 files when run in command-line mode. It does appear to work in GUI mode. The switches+arguments I've used for my tests are:
-u -e -p1 filename.CR2
(or filename.NEF)
With an older (CS2) version of the converter, the above arguments produce a .DNG output file as expected (with .CR2 files; I didn't try it with D3 .NEF files; surely that older version doesn't support the D3's format).
With the very latest version, running the program with the above command produces no output. There's no error message.
The 'readme' file that comes with the converter doesn't include any information about command-line usage, but I did find a PDF file covering this (adobe.com/products/dng/pdfs/dng_commandline.pdf). The switches+arguments shown in the PDF file appear to be exactly the ones I used in the past.
I'm sure I'll need to use the most recent version to convert D3 RAW files. Is there something wrong with how I'm specifying its command-line switches/arguments?

It struck me silly that I've been running tests with v.3.3 when 5.2 is the latest, so I downloaded it. The setup "wizard"...hmm, why is it a "wizard"? It provides no choice of installation path. I didn't realize this because immediately after I'd launched it, I knocked something onto the floor, reached down to pick it up ... and looked back up just in time to see the "wizard" complete the installation...but where, I didn't know. It didn't display any information about where it had installed the app. Adventures In Discoverability. :) I hunted around on the hard drive until I found it (C:\Program Files\Adobe -- well, at least you can launch it if you think to look for it in the 'Start' menu). So ... that needs a bit of work. Anyway, I copied the app into a directory of my choice -- one that's in my system's %PATH%, replacing spaces in the name with underscores. It works fine in that directory -- no problem with the name-change as far as I can tell. Now back to the fun stuff...
This version doesn't seem to require a fully qualified path to the input file or to the output directory when "-d" is used. That's an improvement. IOW, this worked:
converter -p1 -d DNG filename
where "converter" is the program's name, "DNG" is the name of a subdirectory of the directory where I'm running the test, and "filename" is the name of a RAW file in that directory.
The program still doesn't know how to create a directory (or ask about creating one if it doesn't exist). Fails silently if "-d" is used and the specified directory doesn't exist. But at least this version returns an exit code of 1 due to the failure -- better than returning 0.
Still doesn't understand wildcards. Hope done sprang eternal there for a moment, but oh well. Back to "for" loops...
Still fails silently, returning exit code 0 (oops), if a nonsensical command-line is used (e.g., using "-c" as the only argument).
Hey, how about a truly silly command-line error -- a command line including both "-c" and "-u". What happens? It "consumes" the first of the two mutually exclusive switches, ignoring the second -- you get a compressed DNG file. Swap the order of the switches, and you get an uncompressed file. (I'd vote for a syntax-error message in that case, m'self.)
Interestingly strange little program...If I run it from the command line, it drops back to the command line immediately after I press ENTER. That makes it appear to have failed. But it hasn't -- it's running in the background, and a few seconds later the DNG file is created. But, if I run it from within a batch file, it does NOT return control to me until it has completed writing the output file. Wonder what's up with that.
Fun stuff. :)

Problem running DNG Converter from command line in Windows XP

I'm a frustrated user trying to run Adobe DNG converter from the Windows command line - more specifically from a batch file.
- Am reasonably conversant with writing batch files
- Have read the PDF file provided by Adobe
I just can't figure the correct syntax for adding the command line parameters and, unfortunately, the Adobe PDF file doesn't have verbose examples for idiots like me. Nor can I find any such examples on the Net, or any discussion of this problem in the forums.
The Adobe PDF instructions state...
"The parameter list includes the conversion options you want to use, followed by the names of the files to convert."
As there is no switch to prefix 'the names of the files to convert' I assume I just leave a space and include the path to the source files at the end of the parameter list?
Here is the batch file line I am trying to use...
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter.exe [parameter list]"
Where I want to specify in the [parameter list] that...
(a) The destination directory (-d <directory> parameter) is c:\DNG_files
(b) And the source files are in directory c:\RAW_files
Here is the batch line with the parameters entered...
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter.exe -dC:\RAW_files c:\DNG_files"
I've tried variations of this with space between -d and C:\RAW_files and C:\DNG_files\*.* for the source files parameter.
I just keep getting DOS erros like "The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect"
Can anybody help me. I'm clueless how to solve the problem. :-(
I'm running DNG COnverter version 4.2
Thanks in anticipation.
Rob

Thanks for responding G Sch.
LOL. Well this lemming doesn't habitually rename .exe files (e.g. Adobe DNG Converter.exe) to a non-spaced alternative either! (Adobe_DNG_Converter.exe)
Still no luck...
*** Here is my batch file...

As you can see (a) Source files exist(b) DNG command line runs without generating an error (c) no output files in destination.
DNG Converter did not run.
If I remove everything after the command (i.e. the parameter list stuff) it fires up DNG Converter in interactive mode. Not what I'm after.
Any other thoughts on what the problem is?
Thank you.

Adobe DNG Converter - command-line parameters for new 1.4 features

Adobe DNG Converter - I need to know what the command-line parameters are for the new DNG-1.4 options (e.g. lossy compression).
Last I checked, there was no updated documentation released - would somebody please help?
Rob

By inspecting strings in the exe file using ProcessExplorer (MS SysInternals), I found these command-line switches for controlling lossy compression:
-lossy
-size
-count
A D O B E
Adobe: please take a moment and update the command-line documentation - thanks.

How to convert XPS file to a PDF one via Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with command line?

How to convert a word file into PDF in command line ?

Hi,
I want to convert a word (excel, powerpoint, ...) into a PDF using a windows command line.
The command :
c:\> acrodist toto.ps
is working file and the output is a PDF file (toto.pdf)
But if i try with a MS office word file it is not working
c:\> acrodist toto.doc
The output in the console is:
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: ÐÏà¡±á ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
If i do a right clic on the file with the mouse and select in the context menu the option convert to PDF it is working fine :-\
How can i convert that kind of file with a command line ?
Thanks for your help
Xav

>But, from the windows explorer, if i do a right clic on the word document, with the context menu, i can directly convert to PDF
This is equivalent to using the PDFMaker facility in Word - that is,
the Acrobat button. Which is also the same thing that is done when you
use File > Create PDF > From File in Acrobat.
What it does is print to a PS file *and* do a lot of additional
processing to write stuff about links, tags etc. into the PS file.
>(no tmp PS file is used, cause the links are still working).
This isn't true, but it's certainly the case that you won't get links.
There seems to be no API, via any mechanism, still less the "obsolete"
(Microsoft's view) command line, to use PDFMaker from your program.

Convert fmb to fmt in command line in 10g

Would anybody out there give me a hint on how to convert fmb file to fmt in a command line in forms 10g ? Which command can we use to start the form converter that we can get from file -> convert on the form developer ? either in
Windows or Linux environment.
Thank you in advance
-ian

Ian,
this is what you are looking for
Forms/Reports 9.0.X, 10.x
#UNIX Forms Compile
#compile_forms.sh
for i in `ls *.fmb`
do
echo Compiling Form $i ....
f90genm userid=scott/tiger@bs817 batch=yes module=$i module_type=form
compile_all=yes window_state=minimize
done
( For 10gR1 = forms 9.0.4.x, you can use f90gen also)
( For 10gR2 = forms 10.x, you can use frmcmp.sh or frmcmp_batch.sh)
#UNIX COMPILE REPORTS
#compile_rep.sh
for i in `ls *.rdf`
do
echo Compiling Report $i ...
rwconverter.sh userid=scott/tiger@bs817 batch=yes source=$i
stype=rdffile dtype=repfile overwrite=yes compile_all=yes
done
Note: If you dont want to use the X-Display then you can use f60gen,f90gen and frmcmp_batch.sh
for compiling Forms. Make sure TERM, ORACLE_TERM and NLS_LANG values are properly set.
ADDITIONAL:
You can use the information above to compile libraries or menues or
convert files from binary to text and text to binary too. eg:
for %%f in (*.pll) do ifcmp60 userid=user/pwd@db module=%%f module_type=LIBRARY batch=yes window_state=minimize compile_all=yes
for %%f in (*.mmb) do ifcmp60 userid=user/pwd@db module=%%f module_type=MENU batch=yes window_state=minimize compile_all=yes
for %%f in (*.mmb) do ifcmp60 userid=user/pwd@db module=%%f module_type=FORM batch=yes window_state=minimize parse=YES
for %%f in (*.mmb) do ifcmp60 userid=user/pwd@db module=%%f module_type=FORM batch=yes window_state=minimize script=YES
(and similar loops for Unix).

The command line 'route' command is broken - what alternatives are there?

The 'route' command appears to be broken in Mavericks ( now also in 10.9.4 ). It does update that tables, so netstat -r makes it seem that it has worked. However, browsers, pings and trace routes all give errors such as 'out of memory'.
So, what can I do to set up working alternatives to the standard routing?
There certainly is some routing capability, and the ability to change it - if you use the OS/X server and set up a VPN, you can set up routing there. So it should be possible to access it through the command line somehow.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
I really thought that this would be easy, but it's turned into quite a headache.

This isn't a great fix but it's helped us out. We created an autoit script to edit the firefox.js file found in program files\mozilla firefox\default\pref. It searches for the line "pref("app.update.auto", true);" and changes it to "pref("app.update.auto", false);". It's a pain but it's the best we could come up with.
Note: We updated to 3.6.14 and even with the setting above FF still did an auto update to 3.6.15.

Converting string inputs for command line to integers using parseInt()

Hi,
My program takes in an input from the command line - "args[0]".
This line is supposed to be an integer but of course I depending on the user entering the correct data which is never a good scenerio. I used the line "int year = Integer.parseInt(args[0]); I get an error though if the user enters something like "java myProgram Hello" instead of "java my Program 1982".
I want my program to continue running even if the input can't be converted to an integer. At the moment, it is terminating due to an invalid input. Is there anything I can do to keep this program running even if the input is invalid?
Thanks

Use a try/catch block
int year;
try {
   year = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
} catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
    System.err.println("Usage: java myProgram {year}");
    System.exit(-1);
}

Converting Doc files to PDF using command line ?

Hello,
I need to automate the process of converting (in command line) word files to pdf.
Is Acrobat distiller Server the right product ? or is there another product from Adobe that would allow me to reach this goal ?
NB : currently using pdfcreator in command line but have some stability problems now...
thanks a lot

Acrobat Distiller Server can only convert Postscript to PDF. You may look at this product:

Command line to convert Word to PDF

Hi,
Do we have any command line to convert the Word documents to PDF. I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 and converting a batch of word documents to a single PDF file. I need to automate the process using any scripts in a server. The script should include the step to disable the tagging of the document during the convertion.
The process that I follow to convert batch of Word documents:
1. Open Adobe Acrobat Professional
2. Click Create PDF > From Multiple Files
3. Click Browse
4. Select all Word documents
5. Click OK
6. Click Yes to disable the tagging of the PDF file
7. Enter the file name and click Save.
I need the command line script to automate the above process. Is this possible?
Regards'
Shelly

Hi,
I am sorry that I didnt explain it correctly. "Server" I mean was a Windows machine running Windows XP operating system.
