Usage of PrintPDF

Hi,

i am new to pdfBox and i want to use it to print pdf via command line. i 
am using Windows as my OS.
i downloaded pdfbox-app-1.5.0.jar and tried the following statement:

C:\pdfbox>java pdfbox-app-1.5.0.jar org.apache.pdfbox.PrintPDF 
-silentPrint 200900186.pdf

the pdf is in the same directory as pdfbox-app-1.5.0.jar.

i found this statement here:
http://pdfbox.apache.org/commandlineutilities/PrintPDF.html

Unfortunately it is not working:

C:\pdfbox>java pdfbox-app-1.5.0.jar org.apache.pdfbox.PrintPDF -
silentPrint 200900186.pdf
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
pdfbox-app-1/5/0/jar
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: pdfbox-app-1.5.0.jar
         at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
         at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)

         at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
         at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
Could not find the main class: pdfbox-app-1.5.0.jar.  Program will exit.

Could you please give me a hint what goes wrong?

Thanks a lot

Best Regards
Markus

Hi,

i found another one:
the -printerName parameter is missing on your website and in the usage 
message for the command printPDF.
I found the parameter in your sourcecode.

I updated both the online documentation and the command line messages in the 
current trunk, see [1] for further details.

Hi Andreas,

thx, it is working fine now.

i was confused due to different usage messages, the one on your website 
is different to that one i get on the command line.

At least the -jar option is missing in the command line usage message. 
Could you correct this in a further release too?

Best Regards
Markus

Sorry, I didn't check the remaining part of your command line.

It has to be:

java -jar pdfbox-app-1.5.0.jar PrintPDF <command> <args..>

The command line mentioned on our website is obviously wrong. I'll fix that later.
