Adepters:

We have a Styler license and with that I can select from the File menu, Compose -> PDF File, fill in the name of the PDF file to create, the stylesheet to use, and have Arbortext Editor with Styler generate a PDF directly on my local machine. However, for the life of me I can't find any documentation of what the epic.exe command line would look like if I wanted to run it in a batch script. Anyone know what it would be or where I can find the information? Or, maybe it's not supported?

Thanks,

    Hi Dave-



    You can execute code from the command line using the -c option, along
    these lines:



    epic.exe -b -c "print composed; quit;" foo.xml



    The bit in quotation marks is the ACL code that get executed.



    As for publishing using Styler direct-to-PDF, I'm not sure what the
    exact ACL command for that would be. You might have to write an ACL
    function that sets up a parameter array and calls
