Prodiscover basic 8.2 download

Alas, that was not to be the tool is designed to be run like PRODISCOVER BASIC 8.2 DOWNLOAD PDF Which would give STDOUT (or could be redirected to a text file, for instance). I tried against a single file, and that worked fine. I tried to use my limited Windows CLI knowledge and get it to feed the PDFs to pdfinfo, with no joy. If I was in Linux, I would've been more comfortable with creating a loop to go through the files and feed a variable (ie, the file) to pdfinfo.

I messed around with looping in Windows a bit, but - another piece of the scenario - is that time was limited (of course!).

In the process of trying to work out the loops, I looked at some posts on Commandline Kung Fu and other similar (well, similar, but less awesome, no doubt) sites. I may have had some syntax error or other minor issue that caused trouble, but I couldn't ever seem to get a loop to work, and just didn't have time to keep at it.
