Should be simple enough. I have acrobat and I have an excel file.

How do i make the excel file into a pdf, Just like using the "Convert to Adobe PDF" context menu, except from command line?

Should be simple enough. It can't be more than a couple of arguments passed, but i don't see documentation for this anywhere, just a bunch of negativity and passing blame.

Thanks

Not that I'm aware of. Acrobat really is not meant to be used as a command-line utility.

You can convert an Excel file to PDF by specifying it as the parameter when running Acrobat.exe from the command-line, but it won't save the file to the same folder as the original, only in the temp folder.

So there are no parameters that prompt to save like what the context menu does?
