No. But, (another shot in the dark), maybe you could change printer margin settings, and in that way, "crop" the pdfs @ print-time. |

Question, i can't get it to work with AHK, here is what i have tried:
| Code: | | run %comspec% pdftk ENT.pdf dump_data output pages.txt |
| Code: | | run %comspec% /c pdftk ENT.pdf dump_data output pages.txt |
| Code: | | runwait %comspec% /c pdftk ENT.pdf dump_data output pages.txt |
If i test it through cmd it works just fine, how do i make it work?
I even tried running it from the same directory:
| Code: | | run pdftk.exe ENT.pdf dump_data output pages.txt |
Any ideas?
Thanks.  |

Having a.pdf and pdftk.exe in the same directory, this worked for me:
| Code: | | run pdftk a.pdf dump_data output a.txt |
The file a.txt was created

| My bad, running %comspec% from AHK automatically sets working directory to scripts folder, i though i was working in "documents and settings". Everything is good now, thatnks. |

comspec in AHK is cmd. Switch /c will run command and exit after it's done, if you have problems replace it with /k it will show you what error you have.
this will run cmd in hidden mode:
| Code: | | runwait %comspec% /c pdftk ENT.pdf dump_data output pages.txt,,hide |
