docPrint_client.exe nowait "C:\VeryDOC\pdftoflash.exe" C:\test.pdf C:\out.swf
docPrint_client.exe wait "C:\VeryDOC\pdftoflash.exe" C:\test.pdf C:\out.swf

4. You can call "docPrint_client.exe" from your code, please refer to a simple C# code at below,

public partial class runexe : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Process proc = new Process();
        proc.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\\VeryDOC\\docPrint_client.exe";
        string strArguments = "wait C:\\VeryDOC\\pdftoflash.exe C:\\test.pdf C:\\test.swf";
        Console.WriteLine(strArguments);
        proc.StartInfo.Arguments = @strArguments;
        proc.Start();
        proc.WaitForExit();
        Response.Write("File has been successfully converted");
