Context menu -> command line


Recommended Posts

Posted

Abbyy FineReader (OCR software) adds some entries to the context menu for PDFs such that I can select a PDF in Windows Explorer and hit File, Abbyy FineReader, Convert into Microsoft Word. I'd like to be able to script this but there's no documentation to say how. I ran ShellExView and all it found was frintegration.dll (in program files\abbyy finereader 9.0). I guess this contains the context menu items as they aren't in the registry. I also used WinInstall to find all the registry settings created when installing FineReader but nothing helped me, I've attached them.

I want to be able to OCR pdfs from the command line. The function I want is already there with one mouse click. Any ideas?

I found a utility called Runmenu which allows me to script the pressing of context menu items. It does the job nicely but I didn't research the details of how it works. If anyone has a nice explanation, please let me know. I'd rather not use this as part of my script if possible.
