sample option file?

2006-06-23 06:45:43 by patrickl

Hi all,

I want to test out the /OptionsFile command line parameter. Can anyone show me a sample structure of it. And should I use the clsPDFCreatorOptions under COM Interface for the option key word? For example, use UseAutosave for the autosave option.

Thanks,
Patrick

What do you want to do?

From the help file:
/OptionsFile
Specifies the particular options file PDFCreator should use.
Examples: pdfcreator.exe /OptionsFile"C:\MyPDFCreator.ini"
(Hint: With this parameter (and a work around) you can use more than one printer on a machine.)

Hi thesmilyface,

Thanks for your response. I want a sample content of the MyPDFCreator.ini. What section to use? What key can I use etc...

Thanks

Use the com script "SaveOptionsToFile.vbs".

Set monShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
retourShell = monShell.Run("""C:/Program Files/PDFCreator/pdfcreator.exe"" /OptionsFile""c:\myPDFCreator.ini"" /clearcache /nostart /PF""c:\test.doc""",0 ,True)
Wscript.Quit

Hi,

First post here, so let's begin thanking folks for one of the most valuable piecce of software in town !

Now, please forgivvvve me for what could be the dumbest question in all threads BUT... I can't manage to display the command line help ! I'vve tried all sort of PDFCreator.exe /?, /h etc... PDFcreator window keeps poping up, but no further help displayed in CLI.

It's told somewhere in the docs that there are example uses of /OptionsFile there ...

Thank you in advance
Best regards
