Hello,

since years I've been using pdf24-DocTool.exe to frequently convert docx files to pdf. Now I installed pdf24 version 11.13.2 and whenever I convert, I get lots of output in the shell. For example, my 9 page document results in the following output:

C:\Users\bernie>"C:\Program Files\PDF24\pdf24-DocTool.exe" -convertToPDF -profile default/good D:\testfile.docx -outputFile D:\testfile.pdf

If the file has more pages (this is what is typically my use case), the output is even more and hides important messages in my shell script.

Is there a way to suppress these messages like before? In the command line help, I did not find any option.

Thanks,

bernie
