I have Java installed on my PC but I've never run anything like that in command prompt.

What would be really helpful if you could post an example of what you would type in command prompt to get the program to work. So for example I've downloaded all the files for that program, plus the PDF and PDR files into the following folder.

C:\Users\Admin\K
The PDF is called "something.pdf" and the PDR is "something.pdr"

In the instructions it says "You have to call java -jar kindle-annotator-0.3.jar <parameters> to run the annotator". It also says that the parameters are:
-in/--input filename Specify an input file.
-out/--output filename Specify an output file.

The version of the program I downloaded is 0.4.1. So, in command prompt I've specified C:\Users\Admin\K as the directory, then typed
"java -jar kindle-annotator-0.4.1.jar <-in/--input C:\Users\Admin\K\something.pdr -out/--output C:\Users\Admin\K\something.pdf>"

This doesn't do anything. Could you please explain what I should be typing to get the program to run?
