ShellExecute help

[Will66]

Web Browsers can open a pdf with paramaters like this:

file:///D:/WillsAutoit/April.pdf#toolbar=0&navpanes=0&scrollbar=0&page=4&view=FitB

How can i open a PDF directly with Acrobat using paramaters Run or Shell please?

When opening a PDF document from a command shell, you can pass the parameters to the open command using the /A switch with the following syntax:

<Acrobat path> /A "<parameter>=<value>" "<PDF path>"

For example:

Acrobat.exe /A "zoom=1000" "C:\example.pdf"

What have you tried so far?

ShellExecuteWait(@ScriptDir & "\April.pdf", "#page=4")

;ShellExecute("AcroRd32.exe /A zoom=1000 " & @ScriptDir & "\April.pdf")

;ShellExecute("AcroRd32.exe /A 'page=5' '" & @ScriptDir & "\April.pdf'")

ShellExecute('AcroRd32.exe', '"C:\Documents and Settings\<path>\pdf_open_parameters_v9.pdf"')

works. /a is optional, only need for parameters.

Thanx, but i cannot get it to work with parameters....error msg...there was an error opening the file:

ShellExecute('AcroRd32.exe', '"D:\WillsAutoit\pdftohtml-0.38-win32\April.pdf page=4"')

It seems its different for URLs then local files. Anyway this works:

ShellExecute('AcroRd32.exe', ' /A "page=6" "C:\Documents and Settings\<path>\My Documents\pdf_open_parameters_v9.pdf"')

Thanx bo8ster, seperate paramaters with ampersand operator:

ShellExecute('AcroRd32.exe', ' /A "toolbar=0&navpanes=0&scrollbar=0&page=4&view=FitB" "D:\WillsAutoit\pdftohtml-0.38-win32\April.pdf"')
