I have recently signed up for using Distiller in CLI mode and I need to convert a few hundred PDFs from postscript to PDF using the Distiller install on my local machine that's here, "/Applications/Adobe Acrobat DC/Acrobat Distiller.app/Contents/MacOS/Distiller"
I am pretty close but I can't manage to get rid of the annoying Distiller window after every call. I am wondering what am I missing.
I use python and make a subprocess call, that looks like this
subprocess.run(
[DISTILLER_INSTALLATION_PATH, "--nopause", "-q", "-dBATCH", "-dNOPAUSE", f"-sOutputFile={output_pdf_path}",
f"-dPDFSETTINGS={print_job_options}", ps_file],
check=True)
However, I do this in a loop but every time Distiller expects me to close the window.
Here's my questions.
1) Where is the documentation for this stuff, almost impossible to find?
2) What am I missing when i already specify NOPause, and batch as arguments?
3) Was there an alternative where I don't go through every PS file in a single loop but provide them all at one time? In that case I don't mind having the window open and clicking close one time when they're all done.
Any help is appreciated.
Best

Please can you explain what "I have recently signed up for using Distiller in CLI mode " means? Did you take a special license? Did you get a different product? Did you get documentation?

(PS I do know what CLI - command line interface - means. My concern is that I have never heard of any special scheme for signing up to use it).

Is the CLI mode a requirement?
Converting hundreds PS files to PDF can be done easily using the Action Wizard (Acrobat Pro).

Need this done with no interaction, in fully automated mode.
