acrobatactivexadobedcdosMATLABMATLAB and Simulink Student Suitepdfsystemtiff

I'm trying to create a matlab script that opens a PDF in Adobe Acrobat DC then saves it as a tiff and then closes it. I've tried using the activex environment and the system command to no avail.

Here's what I've found from other sources:

system('"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" /A "zoom=10" "C:\Users\mgtsu\Desktop\New folder (2)\Preprocessed\7.3.pdf"&')

The zoom command works but I cannot quit figureout how to get it to export the tiff.

dos('taskkill /F /IM acrobat.exe &')

Best method I found to resolving this was to create an activex server with autocad and plot from autocad a jpg. Not perfect but will work for imshow() and ect.

MATLAB: How to close a PDF document in Adobe Reader from MATLAB on Windows

In order to close an open PDF document in Adobe Reader you can use the MATLAB DOS command to call in turn the Windows TASKKILL command like this:

dos('taskkill /F /IM acroRd32.exe')

This will force the acroRd32.exe process to close.

Try this solution:

A = [97 100 93 89 86 80 93 94 95 92 80];
% Preallocate
Out  = ones(size(A));
% First element is momentarily the maximum
maxA = A(1);
% Positive sequence
pos  = true;
% Tolerance of 10%
x    = .1;
% Start from the second element (since the first is considered the max)
for ii = 2:numel(A)
    % 1
    if pos
        % If new maximum
        if A(ii) > maxA
            maxA = A(ii);
        % If threshold is broken downwards
        elseif A(ii)/maxA-1 < -x
            minA    = A(ii);
            Out(ii) = -1;
            pos     = false;
        end
    % -1    
    else
        Out(ii) = -1;
        % If new minimum
        if A(ii) < minA
            minA = A(ii);
        % If threshold is broken upwards
        elseif A(ii)/minA-1 > x
            maxA    = A(ii);
            Out(ii) = 1;
            pos     = true;
        end
    end
end
