#WINDOWS 10 PDF PRINTER PDF#
However few apps follow the required convention, so WordPad will convert Docx or RTF via command line but can not handle a PDF and Edge AFAIK was not designed to make the PDF format CLI print friendly :-). The alternative is to use a structure like CliPdfApp /PrintTo file.pdf "Microsoft Print to PDF" "Microsoft Print to PDF" "C:\MyFavourite Places\FileName.pdf For a visual guide see and up vote there if that helps. To use ONE fixed output filename like %TEMP%OUT.PDF you are best served by cloning/duplicate the "Microsoft Print to PDF" to a printer name of your choice so I call mine "My Print to PDF" as its shorter to type and the Auto printed file goes to MyData folder.
#WINDOWS 10 PDF PRINTER DRIVERS#
Microsoft Print to PDF on Windows is not "Free", simply "Leased", however that said you can change the owners designed behavior to a different "port" than "prompt" or use the drivers to print to your desired named file. Īt this point I've tried so much but there has to be a way to get this running.
I can easily rename the files for example to 1.pdf, 2.pdf, 3.pdf.
So far, PDFtoPrinter has been the best solution, though it shows the save-file-dialog aswell.Īnother idea I got from this post is to create a (VBA-/PowerShell-)script, but I'm not very experienced at that.Īny way to print just one PDF via the console and then making a loop or maybe even hard-coding the names would suffice aswell. Furthermore they are quite slow (even though this is not my main focus). These approches try to use the command prompt (personally favoured by me aswell, as it allows to create a batch-file and automate the process completely), but unfortunately the programs/printers listed in those posts are either not free or show a save-file-dialog aswell. Windows 10 Print to PDF from command-line and Printing PDFs from Windows Command Line Is there any way to circumvent this or an alternative virtual printer specialized on such a job? However when using Microsoft Print to PDF i need to specify the ouput-file's name and path.
I'm trying to print the PDf-file(s) in a certain folder (or alternatively just print the files one-by-one) using for example Micorosft Print to PDF in order to create flattened versions.
