In my opinion your Java version is not the problem. So don't worry about it (if someone is of different opinion please mention... I have no experience using Java at all). > I saw that the folder ppower4 already exists in > c:\texmf\source\latex\ppower4. All pp4p.jar, ppower4.bat and ppower4p.bat > are there! Then, I edited ppower4.bat (also ppower4p.b) as follows: > ... > My a.pdf file is in c:\tdk. So I went to c:\tdk through dos box.

Correct - but - if you place the batch file (ppower4.bat) in a different directory than the c:\tdk directory, how is Windows going to find the batch file, since it does not know where you placed it? Put the ppower.bat and the a.pdf (or whatever its name is) in the *same* directory (in your case c:\tdk for example). Only then the batch files' commands can be executed. "ppower4.bat a.pdf b.pdf" is correct. There are other ways to make Windows get access to the batch file (to make it know where it is), but I the possibility above this is the most easiest way to test ppower4. Have fun, Stefan
