Specifying a Conversion Task

The syntax for the command line is:

 

ConvertDoc /S{Input File(s)} /F# /T{Output File(s)} /C# [/M#] [/G] [/V] [/R] [/L{LogFile}] [/B{LogToJobFile}] [/I{override initialization file}] [/E] [/A#] [/W{PDF File Open Password}]

 

Items enclosed in square brackets "[ ]" are optional, all other 'switches' are required. Therefore /S, /T, /C# should always be specified on the command line. There is one exception however, and that is when /G is specified, the /T switch is not necessary.

You can include or exclude spaces between switches and parameters. For example, "/C6" is the same as "/C 6".

Command line switches are case sensitive, therefore /V is valid and /v is not.

For long file names (e.g. a path or file name with spaces in it, or longer than 8.3 format) you are required to use double quotes. For example:

ConvertDoc.exe /S"C:\Input Folder\My App\MyFile.PDF" /T "C:\Output Folder\My App\MyFile.DOC" /C3 /M3 /V

 

Next, read about each command line switch and then dive into the examples.
