Conversion Job

A conversion job consists of those conversion tasks that you've specified and added to the conversion task list. Conversion jobs can be saved, restored and edited in the future saving you an enormous amount of time and effort. See the File menu for saving and restoring conversion jobs.

 

When you save a conversion job the file name has a *.SII extension (e.g. "c:\my jobs\MonthlyJob.SII"). There are several ways to use this conversion job file:

1. You can reload the file from the user interface from the File menu item.

2. You can double click the file from Windows Explorer to have run the conversion job. NOTE: If the file has #OPEN.SII at the end of the filename then the 'conversion job' will only be opened for editing.

3. You can specify the file within the command line with the /J switch. For more information see Specifying a 'Conversion Job' File from the command line.

4. You can use the file within the built in scheduler.

 

NOTE: Sample conversion jobs have been included with your installation demonstrating the functionality of 'Convert PowerPoint'. You may find it instructive to view the various conversion job files (*.sii) and examine the settings found there for each conversion task. See the Start\Programs\Convert PowerPoint\Example Conversion Jobs item for the supplied demos. These demos assume you've installed in the default installation folder.
