Thank you Chris, You have solved my problem. For anyone with the same problem-- First I tried putting in the whole path as you said and got: *'C:\Program' is not recognized as...*
I didn't feel like figuring out how to escape the space character, so I copied the pdf2swf.exe file into the folder with my pdfs. The code I showed in my original question yielded: *Error: do you want the output to go to and or to Settings\Vincent?* over and over again. The code that I ended up with that worked was: *FOR %A in (*.pdf) DO pdf2swf %A* Thank you again for your help. You saved me a lot of time/stress/agony. -Vince On Sat, Aug 8, 2009 at 9:06 PM, Chris Pugh <[email protected]> wrote: > >2009/8/9 Vincent Pexutski <[email protected]>: > > I know this has been asked before in the archives, but I'm interested in > > creating a single swf with no adornment for each page in my pdf.
