So then I tried:

Desktop\PDF\sopdf -i C:Users\Me\Desktop\PDF\input.pdf -o C:Users\Me\Desktop\PDF\output.pdf

That didn't work either.

So then I tried:

sopdf -i input.pdf -o output.pdf

Nope. "sopdf is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or bath file."
You need to actually navigate to the folder where SoPdf.exe and the input.pdf are located in CMD. So, first put in,

cd Desktop\PDF\

(The DOS prompt should change to show your new location.) And then type in:

sopdf -i input.pdf -o output.pdf

Either that, or pass the entire path to SoPdf.exe, i.e.:

Desktop\PDF\SoPdf -i "C:\Users\Me\Desktop\PDF\input.pdf" -o "C:\Users\Me\Desktop\PDF\output.pdf"


(You don't actually need to rename it as input.pdf -- just change it to whatever the name of the file is. If it has spaces in its name, you have to use quotation marks as I just have.)

I meant sopdfwin.exe. It doesn't process the files - and I think it's because sopdf.exe closes immediately after it opens. For example, if I process a file, sopdf.exe opens for a split second then closes, then sopdfwin.exe says "Process another file?" - when it didn't process the first file.
It just assumes it processed it. It doesn't check.

Did you put sopdf.exe and sopdfwin.exe in the same folder, as instructed?
