How to print PDF by selecting page manually through command line?

   Normally speaking, when printing PDF file we have to do setting part in the printer. If the printer has some limitation, we can print PDF file as we need. Those limitations will make printing job has to be done around the printer. In this article, I will share one method of printing PDF file controlled by command line either by hand or from remote accession and allows you to select page manually.  The software I used here is VeryPDF PDFPrint Command Line, which also can help you print other file formats directly from command line. In the following part, I will show you how to use this software.

Step 1. Download PDFPrint Command Line
