Convert PDF to PDF/A in Batch. When converting batch files from PDF to PDF/A or any other supported input format, you can also choose to simply combine all selected files into one document or to create multiple output documents by combining files based on folder or common name. If you would like to check the program's functionality.

Editing Batch Files: Obviously, you can't just double-click on the batch file and edit it. Since batch is run through DOS (the command prompt), it doesn't require compiling, so double-clicking on it will run the program. Instead, right-click and go to edit. This will open up notepad for you with the file. Running Batch Files: Treat just like an exe file, double-click. Batch File Programming – Introduction. A batch file is an unformatted text file or script file which contains multiple commands to achieve a certain task. It contains series of command that is executed by command line interpreter.

When you type a command line, Windows searches a list of folders called the search pathfor a file whose name starts with the program name you typed and whose name ends with any of several extensions such as.exe,.bat, and.vbs. The most common program extensions are listed in Table 29.1. This book 'Batch File Programming' is written after experimenting and testing all the snippets covered in this book. Batch File Programming is a pretty old one, but i have found lot of books that haven’t covered the dark-side of the batch, which still remains untold.

Is there some nice documentation for Windows batch scripting I can download and refer to while offline?

I can recommend:

An A-Z Index of the Windows XP command line.

It is more thorough than help and most importantly it provides several examples for each command. Example: FIND. There are also cross-references to other commands.

For offline reading you can capture the pages by using e.g. Wget (or some other tool that can follow links and down the content). I use Bart Puype's Wget binary for Windows.

(There is a similar one for PowerShell: 'An A-Z Index of Windows PowerShell commands'.)

You can always look at the command help by typing one of:

And to see a complete list of default batch commands you just type:

Also, you can look up the commands in Windows Help. Just click on 'Start' -> 'Help and Support', then search for 'cmd reference' and you will get the 'Command-line reference A-Z' page in Full-text Search Matches. It's a complete list of all cmd commands (some of the are only available in batch scripts) and other command line applications.

Here's an 8-page PDF you can print out: Win32 Shell Scripting Tutorial.

Consider using PowerShell instead, if you can. More power, fewer headaches. It's the way of the future, scripting-wise.

You sound like you have a lot of learning ahead of you. If you do that learning in PowerShell instead of batch, you'll be in a better position at the end.

While it's useful to learn batch, sometimes using batch can be quite a hassle, especially when it comes to things like number crunching, text file parsing, HTML parsing, etc., etc. It's better to also equip yourself with knowledge of scripting using languages such as Perl and Python. Natively, you can also learn how to use VBScript/JScript. Here is the guide you can download and read offline.

Batch File Scripting Pdf

I have a batch script used to extract PDF information and rename the PDF then.

The script is working fine for 1 PDF file but I need to use it directly in a folder with a lot of PDF files.

So how to do it?

The script needs to run for each PDF file, one by one until the end.Once the PDF file is renamed next the file is moved in another folder, so the PDF file remaining in the folder need the same thing. And when the folder is empty the script exits.

Perhaps this commented batch file code works for moving all PDF files in current directory to subdirectory XYZ FOLDER with new file name determined from contents of each PDF file.

It is unclear for me why each *.pdf file should be moved into a subdirectory with new file name.
This is not really necessary in my point of view. The command REN could be enough.

For understanding the used commands and how they work, open a command prompt window, execute there the following commands, and read entirely all help pages displayed for each command very carefully.

• call /?
• del /?
• dir /?
• echo /?
• endlocal /?
• find /?
• for /?
• goto /?
• md /?
• move /?
• rem /?
• ren /?
• set /?
• setlocal /?

Read also the Microsoft article about Using Command Redirection Operators for an explanation of 2>nul. The redirection operator > must be escaped with caret character ^ on FOR command line to be interpreted as literal character when Windows command interpreter processes this command line before executing command FOR which executes the embedded dir command line in a separate command process started in background.
