Issue reported by javgrzgarcia at Google Code:

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. I have downloaded pdf2djvu-win32-source_0.7.14.tar.xz, and decompressed it on desktop
  2. I went to command windows and place me on the directory were the file is placed.
  3. Then wrote pdf2djvu{-o | --output} and obtained "pdf2djvu is not recognised as an external or internal program"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I obviously expected ¿a message? indicating the djvu file was created.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I'm using windows 7 ultimate 64-bit

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm obviously noob, like a child, please help me to eliminate my ignorance. (I'm apologise for my English, is quite basic)

pdf2djvu-win32-source_0.7.14.tar.xz is the source package. To get it working, you'll have to compile it first. Unforunately, it's not currently documented how to do it. This lack of documentation is tracked as issue #81.

If you are a noob :-), you almost certainly want precompiled executables instead:

{ and } are grouping meta-characters; they weren't meant to be typed literally in the command line. You would typically call pdf2djvu this way:

pdf2djvu -o foo.djvu foo.pdf

or

pdf2djvu --output bar.djvu bar.pdf

I'm optimistically assuming that the answer is no and closing this bug.
