b. Use PTX's CLI in Your Own Application/Script/BAT on Your Licensed PCs:
First, need to install PTX on your licensed PCs, and then simply use the Shell function (or other similar functions) to do it.
This is VB.NET sample code (in VB.NET, two " indicate one actual "), FYI:
Shell("""C:\Users\AA\AppData\Roaming\PDF Helper\PDF to X\PTX"" -D ...", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)

c. Deploy PTX's CLI with Your Application/Script/BAT Outside the Scope of Your Licensed PCs:
In this case, do NOT need to install PTX on the PCs that you want to deploy to. And you should purchase PDF to X Redistributable CLI, click here to know more details.
Once bought, just deploy the received files under your application or any other place as you need, and then you will have the ability to use it like this (VB.NET code):
Shell("D:\MyApp\PTX\PTX -J ...", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
