pdf24-PrinterInstall.exe

Hello, I would like to automatically create a second PDF24 printer. I can't find the correct command-line options.

Actually, I would like to do the same thing as the + button (install a PDF printer). The command "%ProgramFiles%\PDF24\pdf24-PrinterInstall.exe" installPrinter -printerName PDF24_TEST does not seem to be enough.

Command line description is available here:

Hello Stefan, I relied on the documentation and the printer is created correctly with the right name and the right port, but it does not appear in the Pdf24 settings and the printing is showing an error.. I tried to do an addservice but it does not work.

The settings dialog does the following to install new PDF printers:
pdf24-PrinterInstall.exe installPrinter -printerName "XXX" addService

Be careful, there is a capital letter in addService

Thanks, it works as long as you're an administrator, and it installs it for all users. If you only want to install it for the current user, is there a trick?
