How to search in a pdf package via command line

How can I search a specific PDF file within a PDF package via the command line? Previously I have used the following code in VB6 to search a single PDF file successfully.
acroPath = String(128, " ") 'initialise this string
resultStatus = FindExecutable(pdfPath, vbNullString, acroPath)
acroPath = Replace(acroPath, vbNullChar, "") 'Get rid of the null character
acroPath = """" & Trim$(acroPath) & """"
cmdLineString = acroPath & " /n /A ""search=" & searchString & """ " & pdfPath
Call Shell(cmdLineString, vbNormalFocus)
I now receive this file as part of a PDF package, so how can I amend the command line to search the specific file within the package?
I only have Reader, not the full blown Acrobat version.

Sorry forgot to say that I am using Acrobat Reader 8.1 on Win XP SP2

How to specify xml file to populate form fields in the PDF file via command line?

Hi,
I would like to specify xml data file to populate my pdf file using command line.
The form was Reader extended.
I've tried the following syntax :
Acrobat.exe /A "zoom=100" "C:\example.pdf"#xml="C:\example.xml" but got an acrobat error: "the file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect".
Where am I wrong?
Thanks!

>If I understand correctly you propose something like this
Something like, yes.
>
>Acrobat.exe /A "zoom=100" "xml=C:\example.xml" ....
Certainly, neither will work. /A is followed by a single quoted
string. There must be some separator, but I don't know what it needs
to be (as I was alluding to in my first reply).
To see if there is any hope, just try without the zoom= completely. In
any case you can set the zoom in the document properties.

Adobe Reader 11 (XI) won't open file via command line

Hello,
I have posted this question to probably inapropriate topic earlier today, so I am repeating it again.
I installed newest Adobe Reader XI today and when I tried to open certain pdf file via command line, it reported a syntax error. Now, this syntax worked so far on versions 9 and 10 (I checked today with them and it is working), so my question is - where can I find new syntax, if there is any? Googling didn't help. Or what else could wrong?
In previous versions I was able to open pdf file (on page 5) like this (all was taken from Help file "Open parameters")
"CompletePathToAdobeReader"/A"page=5""CompletePathToPDF",
ie
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"/A"page=5""d:\V2\DataSheet.pdf"
but now - not that it doesn't open specific page, but it doesn't want to open file at all.
edit:
Operating systems running: Windows 7, Windows XP
Thank you.
Message was edited by: v604

Yes, it reported correctly becuase there is a syntax error in your command. Try spaces between the /A switch and open parameter. Try this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A "page=5" "d:\V2\DataSheet.pdf"
Hope this helps.

Upgrading from 10.5 to 10.6 via command line

Hi all:
Can anybody tell me what package(s) should be installed when upgrading a 10.5 server to 10.6? I don't need any of the language kits or printer drivers or X11, just the basic install option. I'd like to install the packages via command line, but there are a few that look relevant and I'm not sure which ones to install.
These look promising:
MacOSXServerInstall.mpkg
MacOSXServerInstall.pkg
OSInstall.mpkg
OSInstall.pkg
OSUpgrade.pkg
Thanks,
Brewster

Looks like I can just ARD into the machine while booted from the DVD, so this is moot. :P

How to Load an app to iPad using command line

Hello,
I am trying to build an iOS app and load it to an iPad where I want to run an automated test on it from command line. I do not wish to use Fruitstrap or any other third party tool/code as I only want to use native apple code.
xcodebuild -verbose -project iOS_Calc.xcodeproj -configuration Release -sdk iphoneos6.1 -arch armv7 -target iOS_Calc clean build
xcrun -sdk "iphoneos" PackageApplication -v "$project_dir/build/Calc.app" -o "$project_dir/build/Calc.ipa" --sign "$provisioning_profile" --embed "$project_dir/$mobileprovision"
Above is the script I have so far to build the app, but I dont know how to load it to an iPad via command line. Does anyone know how to load the .app to iPad device?

I'm also interested. Not only load but also run.

How to merge multiple documents via command line (Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.2)?

I'm searching solutions to merge multiple documents (all stored in one folder) via command line or batch file to a single PDF-File...
Is there a way to do this?
Finaly I want to control this from a application written in MS-Access. So, perhaps there are some features already integrated in Access to do this?
Thanks for answer!

If you have some programming experience you could probably do this using VBA from within MS Access to control Acrobat via OLE.
Lots of examples on the Web.
Hope this helps

How to see via command line blocked mails

Im having a problem...i have a C100 Ironport appliance and i want to know via command line, how to grep and see mails that never went delivered.
For example...i know that someone, like [email protected] send to my exchange server an email...but in exchange never entered. So i assume that it was filtered by Ironport.
I go to the command line, use grep and 13 and search for [email protected] and i see something like this
Wed Apr 18 14:17:54 2007 Info: MID 3977209 ICID 8813638 From: <pedro>
Wed Apr 18 14:18:44 2007 Info: MID 3977209 ready 3019672 bytes from <pedro>
I see that 2 mails came from pedro....so i want to see what happened to them...they were bounced? rejected? Delivered?
I dont have any email in the local quarantine... and i want to know how to track what happened to those emails that never entered to my exchange server.
Is there any command?
Than you!

Wanted to add that you can shortcut the "grep" process by putting everything on one line.
grep -i "Mid 3977209" mail_logs
grep -i "ICID 8813638" mail_logs
grep -i "From: " mail_logs
basically
grep -i "pattern" mail_logs
-i ===> ignore case

How do I remove Lotus Notes PDFMaker plugin via command line?

How do I remove the lotus notes PDFMaker plugin via command line? I originally deployed Adobe Acrobat 10 as a complete install to many computers. I see how to remove this specific feature through the GUI in Windows 7 by going to control panel / programs and features / Adobe Acrobat X / change / modify / create adobe PDF / acrobat PDFMaker / Lotus Notes, but this would be a tedious task to do manually at each computer. I've experimented with a few msiexec commands after removing Acrobat such as:
msiexec /i "\\path to msi" remove=pdfmakerforlotusnotes
msiexec /i "\\path to msi" disable_pdfmaker=yes
Both still install acrobat as a complete install. Any help and suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you Sabian, that did the trick. Here is the command line I used for anyone else having a similar issue:
msiexec /i "\\path to msi" REMOVE=PDFMakerForLotusNotes /qn
I did this on a test machine with a complete Acrobat installed. I ran the above command and it removed the Lotus Notes PDFMaker plugin. I should also note that it didn't downgrade my version of Acrobat and all of my custom settings within the application are still there.

I've got XP to load LR2 when a "camera" (and only a camera) is connected but really cool would be if LR2 would also import the pictures.

[SOLVED] How to Create an Image from UTF8 Text via Command-line

As the title points out, I'm trying to create an image from unicode text via command line. I tried...
convert -pointsize 48 -size 400 caption:测试用 text.png
But that results in question marks for the Chinese characters. So searching around online I discovered that I needed to specify a font which could display the characters. The characters show up just fine in Firefox, KDE, Kate, Terminal, etc so I know I have a font which can render them. I thought it might be DejaVu but this also resulted in question marks...
convert -font /usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSerif.ttf -pointsize 48 -size 400 caption:测试用 text.png
Any ideas?
Last edited by tony5429 (2011-01-31 23:17:41)

DejaVu doesn't contain those Chinese glyphs at all, so please don't blame ImageMagick for not rendering them.
So, Firefox, Kate, Terminal and the others you stated to use DejaVu, if encounter these characters, fall back to some other fonts to render them. These fonts are, however, not vector, but bitmap fonts. (This can be seen if you increase text size (Ctrl++ in Firefox): the Chinese characters don't change, they remain of their inherent size.)
Actually, e.g. /usr/share/fonts/misc/18x18ko.pcf.gz definitely contains the three example characters, so the mentioned apps may use this font as fall back.
Apparently ImageMagick doesn't handle bitmap fonts (I'm not sure), so you won't be able to hit your original target. Anyway, since you tried to parse "-pointsize 48", you wouldn't be satisfied with the font size.
Your only choice seems to be using the above mentioned CJK-approved TTFs.

[SOLVED] How to Crop an MP4 Video via Command-line?

I have ffmpeg, mpg123, and mencoder. Does anyone know of a way I could use any of those to crop an mp4 video via command-line? I am trying to take off the black space above and below a video. Thanks in advance!
Last edited by tony5429 (2009-04-12 00:12:57)

I don't think it's possible to crop without re-encoding, but you can crop from the command line with ffmpeg and mencoder. Not sure about mpg123 - I think that's for playing audio but I could be wrong there.
Anyway, with ffmpeg you can do cropping by using -croptop, -cropbottom, -cropleft, and -cropright. So if you wanted to crop 16 pixels off of the top and the bottom, your command line would look something like this:
ffmpeg -i <input file> -croptop 16 -cropbottom 16 <video encoding options> <audio encoding options> <output file>
With mencoder you use the "crop" video filter, like this:
mencoder <input file> -o <output file> -vf crop=320:208:0:16 <other options>
where the "320:208:0:16" means that the resulting picture is 320 pixels wide, 208 pixels high, and the 0:16 is the x,y position of the cropped area.
These command lines are just really very basic examples - ffmpeg and mencoder have a LOT of options. Way too many to explain here. If you don't believe me, just try reading through the mencoder man page sometime. (There's an online version of it at: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html)
Hope this helps!!

How to install Developer Tools via command line

Hello,
is there a way, to install the Developer Tool via Command line?
I need only the unix tools.
I have to install the unix tools over a ssh connection.
Thanks in advance and best regards

I followed the link you gave. The only download I saw was for Xcode 4, and they either wanted $5 to purchase it from the app store or a 1 year mac developer license thing which was $100.
