Command line , banging my head....

[Hasher]

Always seem to have issues with trying to do command lines . This is what i am trying to do.

 

;this is original code
  RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\PDF2Image\pdf2img.exe pdf2img -f 1 -l 4 -i " & $avUser[$i] & " -o " & @ScriptDir & "\Packing\" & $filename & "\*.jpg")
   
   
   ;tried simplifying as I was thinking its long file names
   RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\PDF2Image\pdf2img.exe pdf2img -i C:\input.pdf -o C:\*.jpg")
   
   ;The cmdline app launches but thats it, just shows the help menu
   ;Anytips what i'm doing wrong ?

-i [input PDF file]  : Specify input PDF filename
-o [output TIF file] : Specify output TIFF filename
-g                   : Convert to 8-bit grayscale image file, this option
                       is only available while bitcount equal 8 (-b 8)
-m                   : Set output to multi-page TIFF file, the
                       default is output to single page TIFF files
-r [resolution]      : Set resolution in generated image files

    pdf2img -i C:\*.pdf -o C:\*.pcx

Great
And your question is? Just saw that your question is part of the code box.

RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\PDF2Image\pdf2img.exe -i C:\input.pdf -o C:\*.jpg")

I removed "pdf2img".

It was in the code . Cant see why the app isn't processing the file. Am I calling it wrong ?

You are using a wildcard in the output parameters, but a static file for the input - could that be your issue?

RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\PDF2Image\pdf2img.exe pdf2img -i C:\input.pdf -o C:\input.jpg")

Yes, I think you do. Did you see my code example above?
