Hi, so i've read through the documentation and i see that there are command line arguments that can be used to print a pdf. Is there a way to control the export functionality from the command line also? I'd like to be able to pass the path of a pdf to the executable and specify that an image (jpeg) should be generated. Can someone please help me with this.

Thanks in advance!

On Mac OS X:

sips -s format jpeg your_pdf_file.pdf --out your_jpeg_file.jpg

There are plenty of open source tools which can do this on Windows as well. I recommend ImageMagick.

Acrobat has thousands of pages of development interfaces in the Acrobat SDK. I dread to think what the command line would look like that supported all of them. A combination of OLE and JavaScript might meet your needs.
