  • Adobe Reader 11 (XI) will not open the file via command line

    Hello

    I posted this question probably inappropriate topic earlier today, so I am repeating again.

    I installed the new Adobe Reader XI today and when I tried to open some PDFs via command line, it reported a syntax error. Now, this syntax worked so far on versions 9 and 10 (I checked today with them and it does not), so my question is - where can I find new syntax, if there are? Google search did not help. Or what else could go wrong?

    In previous versions, I was able to open the pdf file (on page 5) like this (everything was taken from the help file 'Open settings')

    «Page "/A" CompletePathToAdobeReader = "CompletePathToPDF", 5"»

    That is to say

    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Reader.

    but now - not that it opens a specific page, but it won't open the file at all.

    Edit:

    Operating systems: Windows 7, Windows XP

    Thank you.

    Post edited by: v604

    Yes, he has correctly reported because there is a syntax error in your order. Try spaces between the /A switch and open the setting. Try this:

    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Reader" /A "page = 5" "d:\V2\DataSheet.pdf" "."

    I hope this helps.

  • Check the battery via command line

    Is there a utility command line for battery check? I have hundreds of laptop computers to check the battery failure. I am able to deploy and install the HP Battery Check utility and then silently run the hbbc.exe/s but I don't see the newspaper. Is there another utility to do this?

    Thank you.

    So, I finally found the file that is used to produce the result of battery page.

    Run hpbc.exe/s

    After the second couple that xml file will be in the

    %ProgramData%\Hewlett-Packard\HP support Framework\Resources\Logs\BCResOut.xml

    That you can analyze and get the information you need - by comparing the result of MISTLETOE.

    ... and it took two calls to the support level 2 technique to find. They have not confirmed the existence of the /s switch and there is no docummentation.

    Yes, LCM is a command line utility that can be fully automated for these elements of snapshot off. Take a look at the document of LCM

    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E17236_01/EPM.1112/epm_lifecycle_management.PDF

    As mentioned, the API is another way too but who can take over installation but doable.

    Thanos also gave some options you could look.

  • DCC - cannot update the BIOS via command line settings

    I'm script an automated installation of Bitlocker on Windows 7 and 8.1 systems (company).  I use the last DCC and programs CCTK that came with it.  Systems have the latest BIOS updates, and are fully patched.

    I managed with several test systems (Win7, desktop computers, laptop computers (different models)).  I tried my scripts this morning on a laptop computer Win8.1 (Dell E6330) and as soon as my script runs to the addition of the password of the BIOS needed to make TPM changes ("cctk - setuppwd =" "") I get the following error:

    The required BIOS interfaces is not found on this system.

    I get the same error when running any other command CCTK used in my script:
    CCTK - tpm =-valsetuppwd =
    Activate CCTK - tpmactivation = - valsetuppwd =

    When I restart in the BIOS, no password has been set (all parameters are say no 'set') and the secure platform module is inactive.

    I updated to the latest BIOS (A14) and I get the above error message.  I know that orders CCTK I have scripted are correct, because they work on other systems.

    I wonder what could be the problem with this notebook and how I can come up with a solution.

    Thoughts?  Suggestions?

    Thank you!

    -Greg

    Just a quick update to let everyone know how I solved this:

    I had to install HAPI.

    On all other facilities that I have tested, just have the HAPI subfolder in the folder where CCTK. EXE was hosted was sufficient for work.  But for some reason some, in this case, once I installed HAPI and then ran my scripts again, they finished without a problem.

    I hope this helps someone else.  Seemed to be a solution simply absurd, but it is what it is.

  • Rebuild the indexes to search for Windows 7 via command line

    My search index is constantly becomes corrupted and will have problems, looking for things in Outlook. The only way I can make it work temporarily is rebuilt the index and it goes for a week or two before she starts to have problems again.

    Is it possible that I can have research rebuilt via command line so that I can put in a batch file and schedule it to run?

    off @echo

  • Take possession of the key to register via command line

    Is there a way to take ownership of a registry key without having access to the registry? Editing the registry is disabled, I could activate normally using command line, but I don't have permission to change the key. I was wondering if so there is a way to take possession of the key by command line, so I can set the button to activate the registry change.

    Give this extract a whirl:

    ... If the registry editor has also been disabled, you will not be able to run registry changes to fix the rest of the problems, then you must first activate the command registry editor run.  Even if the registry editor is not broken, these commands are safe to run.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box (copy/paste would be safer) the following text:

    Tracking Add HKCU/v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0

    Click OK and answer Yes, if you are prompted with a message of crash.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box (copy/paste would be safer) the following text:

    Tracking Add HKLM/v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0

    Click OK and answer Yes, if you are prompted with a message of crash.

    Now try your registry editor.

    If you inflict not on purpose to this situation on your system, no doubt there are other things on your system that are also affected... we can fix them then.

  • How can I remove Lotus Notes PDFMaker plugin via command line?

    How can I remove the plugin from PDFMaker lotus notes via command line?  I initially deployed Adobe Acrobat 10 as a full install on multiple computers.  I see how to remove this specific feature through the user interface in Windows 7 by going to Control Panel / programs and features / Adobe Acrobat X / change / modify / create adobe PDF / acrobat PDFMaker / Lotus Notes, but it would be a tedious task to do manually on each computer.  I've experimented with a few msiexec commands after removing Acrobat such as:

    msiexec /i "\\path in msi" remove = pdfmakerforlotusnotes

    msiexec /i '\\path in msi' disable_pdfmaker = yes

  • 402 error when installing an extension via command line

    When I try to install my extension via command line, I get the following error message:

    "Cannot install, status =-402!

    What means this error-402 code?

    I found someone with a similar problem in the forums: Re: CC extensions Manager failed to install the extension

    It had file names containing non-ASCII characters. But I couldn't find any non-ASCII characters in my project or extension.

    Thanks in advance,

    Andreas

    Hi Andreas,

    I checked your ZXP file, and although his signature appears to be valid and correct, it is not time stamped. This means that when the signing certificate expires (which is in less than 3 years), signature of your ZXP will cease to be valid and your extension will not be able to be loaded. I think this is the reason for validation of signature issues.

    Can you please try to re-sign your ZXP by adding "tsa - https://timestamp.geotrust.com/tsa" to your order of signature?

    for example

    ZXPSignCmd-sign my_product my_product.zxp cert.p12 password - ASD https://timestamp.geotrust.com/tsa

    (This should be possible with either ZXPSignCmd for CC + or UCF.jar for CS6 +)

    Your product also seems to be a hybrid extension - with a packed inside another ZXP ZXP. So please make sure that the internal ZXP joint is also signed and timestamped this way.

    If this does not resolve the problem, please let us know of your stamped ZXP and I'll take another look.

    Best regards

  • compare two PDFs using acrobat to adobe via command line

    Does anyone know how to compare two PDFs using acrobat to adobe via command line. I want to do this via command line, because we want to compare hundreds of files each day through some automated tasks in windows.

    If the command line option is not available in acrobat format, then it is possible to use acrobat javascript API to perform this task?

    Any kind of help will be greatly.

    Command line: not possible.

    JavaScript: Possible, but very limited. Basically, the only thing you can do is simulate the clicking Compare Documents. The rest must be done manually.

    However, it * might * be possible to automate this process a bit more using a plugin. Ask for more at the Acrobat SDK forum for more information...

  • How to search in a pdf via command line package

    How can I search a specific PDF file within a PDF batch via command line? Previously, I used the following code in VB6 to find a unique PDF file successfully.

    acroPath = String (128, "") ' initialize the string

    resultStatus = FindExecutable (pdfPath, vbNullString, acroPath)


    acroPath = Replace (acroPath, vbNullChar, "") "get rid of the null character

    «acroPath = "" "" & Trim$ (acroPath) & "»


    cmdLineString = acroPath & "/ n/a" "search =" "& searchString &" "" "" & pdfPath

    Call the Shell (cmdLineString, constant vbNormalFocus)

    I now get this file in a PDF package, so how can I change the command line to search for the specific package file?

    I understand that I can not use OLE with just the drive nor the DDE as the search function is not exposed in the drive. So I find myself with the command line.

    I only have Acrobat Reader blown on Win XP SP2, not the full version of Acrobat 8.1.

    SAV

    No fix - no command line option.

    And Yes, you're right about OLE and DDE.

  • Impossible to deploy the model after upgrading to vCenter v4_1

    Hi all

    I updated vCenter Server from version 4.0 to v4.1 and re-registers the hosts.
    Virtual machines are working well and are able to collect data on performance.

    However, when I tried to deploy the model, error occurred and failed to deploy the model.

    (This model were made to vCenter v4.0 environment, before moving on to vCenter v4.1).

    My client needs deploy the model so that it can create a new server next week...

    If there is anyone who has solved this problem by following the procedures written in this KB, could you tell me at what level you updated VMware tools for?
    In addition, was the update of the virtual hardware to solve this problem?

    Thanks for you information in advance!

  • Manually configure the listener apex via command line

    I would like to be able to configure the listener apex via the command line.
    Is there an api or method to achieve this?

    Is it possible to take an apex-config. XML as a template and make changes to this environment and place it in the config.dir directory
    According to me, placing a! in front of the clear text password cryptera apex listener reboot?

    Is the method of model above a taken way in charge of the configuration of the apex listener script languages?

    I set the value of config.dir for /apex_lsnr
    This will search the apex - config.xml in the directory above or it will search the XML in /apex_lsnr/apex?

    +/apex_lsnr + would be option 1 - who doesn'work currently.

    ++ refers to the 'context' you have deployed your APEX listener, so if you used the default value (apex) this would actually
    +/apex_lsnr/apex +.

    -Online cp apex - config.xml $DOMAIN_HOME/apex_lsnr/apex

    Note that APEX auditor records the location of the apex - config.xml, he uses actually started. If it comes to the temporary location (default), he found nothing in your configured directory.
