Printing PDFs from Windows Command Line

Question

I\'m trying to print all pdfs in current dir. When I call this bash script in cmd (singlepdf.sh): \'\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Reader 10.0\\Reader

Answer 1

The error message is telling you.

Try just

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /t "$pdf"

When you enclose the string in single-quotes, this makes everything inside a valid string, including the " chars. By removing the single-quotes, the shell will process the dbl-quotes as string "wrappers".

I would also wrap the filename variable in dbl-quotes so you can easily process files with spaces in their names, i.e.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /t "$pdf"
