I'm using PDF Creator on Windows 7 and am having problems generating some PDFs from the command line that I don't when using the GUI.
I am using the following command, and my purpose is to use the command line to generate output PDF directly without user interaction in GUI:
pdfcreator.exe /IF"C:\test.html" /OF"C:\test.pdf"
I find that the command ends immediately, without any output on the console.
Any ideas what is wrong?

HTMLDOC (http://www.htmldoc.org/) is another utility to directly convert HTML to PDF (or PostScript). Can be put to work on the commandline, with a GUI or as a web servicve.

1@Stephen, I have tried using /PF still needs user interaction, which need to press the print button. Do you mean if we use ps as input file, then no user interaction is needed to convert (from ps) to PDF file? – George2 – 2010-07-05T16:21:37.843
@Stephen, I tried DocConverter is not free, I need a free one which works on command line, any recommendations? – George2 – 2010-07-05T16:27:45.817

– Kurt Pfeifle – 2010-07-07T16:51:53.4271HTMLDOC's readme file states that it only supports up to HTML 3.2 and DOES NOT support CSS. I'd imagine that's a pretty critical shortcoming that most people should be aware of before trying it out. – Daniel Szabo – 2010-10-26T17:27:35.457
