Command Line Parameters For Acrobat Reader

[Robert Cuthbertson]

I need a list of all command line parameters for Acrobat Reader; if anyone can supply them it will be greatly appreciated.

[Reinhard Franke]

For the Acrobat Reader exist a special forum. Anyway Acrobat and Reader have the same command line options.

The SDK "Acrobat Developer FAQ", tell us on Page 32 (Miscellaneous Technical Issues):

/n =launch a separte instance Acrobat
/s =supression the splash screen
/o =open Acrobat, supressing Open File dialog
/h =open acrobat in hidden mode

/p [filename] =execute and print
/ t [path,printername,drivername,portname] =execute, print and terminate

Example for \p and \t you can find in the "open with" dialog from window.

Especially the \n parameter works very fine for Acrobat. So you can work in Acrobat and at the same time open all help files - you mean you need - with /n. I missed it in the beginning, like context-sensitive help.

What's wrong with my answer, so that you don't appreciate this with a short answer? Or did you simple forgot it?

best regards, Reinhard

Is there a "find" command line parameter, so the PDF will open a the first instance of a word?

Not according to the Developer FAQ.

If it is important to you, may be you can solve it with a VB/JScript and OLE automation.
