C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents>cd c:\pdflrf
The system cannot find the path specified


Bear in mind the 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents>' is already there & I can't overtype it. The exe is currently residing directly in the C drive, but I have also tried putting it in a new folder by itself & using that pathname with no more luck.

Maybe I can help you a little.

Your current directory or "folder" is
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents

The command you typed "cd c:\pdflrf" means that you want to "Change Directory" i.e. move to a folder inside your C drive named "pdflrf".

But you're getting an error that says that there is no such "folder".

Are you sure you have a folder named "pdflrf" inside your C drive?

Probably the easiest way is to move the "pdflrf.exe" file and the pdf file you want to convert into your "My Documents" since your are now there.
Then you can just type

pdflrf -i foo.pdf -o foo.lrf -s

at the prompt where foo is the name of your pdf file.

or try typing

pdflrf -h
