How to provide parameters while opening a pdf in CMD?

Is there a way to give page number (as parameter) to open a pdf using the given command in CMD, start ""/max "F:\filename.pdf". Or there is a different way? What are the other parameters that can be provided?

Solution

  • Google is your friend.

    https://www.google.com.au/search?q=acrobat+viewer+command+line

    Leads to Adobe's documentation

    http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf

    When opening a PDF document from a command shell, you can pass the parameters to the open command using the /A switch with the following syntax:

    <Acrobat path> /A "<parameter>=<value>" "<PDF path>"

    For example:

    Acrobat.exe /A "zoom=1000" "C:\example.pdf"

    Then later

    page=pagenum Specifies a numbered page in the document, using an integer value. The document’s first page has a pagenum value of 1.
