Using the Command Line

The Mail Markup Pro command line can be called from your own applications in the following way:

MailMarkupCmd config.xml input.pdf [/o]

The command line call contains the following components:

Component	Description
MailMarkupCmd	The command line executable which is normally located in the Mail Markup Pro installation folder.
config.xml	The name of the XML file that contains elements, attributes and values that determine how Mail Markup Pro processes a PDF document.
input.pdf	The drive, path and file name of the PDF document to be processed by Mail Markup Pro.
/o	Optional command that causes the original input PDF document to be overwritten by the output PDF document. If the command is omitted then “ OMR” is added to the end of the output PDF document’s file name (before the .pdf extension). Example: Welcome_Letters OMR.pdf

EXAMPLE:

MailMarkupCmd DS100.xml C:\MMP_Docs\Welcome_Letters.pdf /o

 

The above example would cause Mail Markup Pro to use elements, attributes and values contained in DS100.xml for processing mail pieces in Welcome_Letters.pdf. Following processing, Welcome_Letters.pdf would be overwritten by the newly created PDF document.

NOTE:

If the path for the command line executable has not been specified in Windows, it will need to be included in the command line call.

EXAMPLE:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mail Markup Pro\MailMarkupCmd etc
