'Convert Document to Image' Convert Doc to JPG

'Convert Document to Image' can be run without a user interface with command line arguments much like in the good old DOS days.  You can initiate command line execution by going to the operating system's 'command prompt' or within Windows from the START-RUN menu and typing it in there.  Lastly, the command line interface can be used from Batch files (files with *.BAT extension). 

 There are two approaches to doing the command line:

A)  Specify a 'Conversion Job' that was built using the graphical user interface (GUI)

B)   Specify a 'Conversion Task' in detail. See Convert Document To Image Examples to get started quickly

Specifying a 'Conversion Job' is very easy, as you only need to tell 'Convert Document to Image' where to find the associated *.SII 'Conversion Job' file.  All the details associated with this task are executed in one fell swoop. The SII file is created within the user interface.

 Specifying a 'Conversion Task' is a bit more tedious, but is more flexible and does not require the prior creation of a 'Conversion Job' file.

 Each approach is discussed in more detail below.

IMPORTANT: To use the command line successfully the operating system will need to know where exactly the application is located. Otherwise, you'll see the following error:

"CDTI.EXE" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

We suggest you do one of the following:

A)    Set the path in your operating system's environment variables to the installation location of CDTI.EXE. See your operating system's help for setting the path.

B)    Create a batch file (a text file whose file name ends in .bat) that uses the fully qualified path of CDTI.EXE.

For example the following is a typical batch file:

"c:\program files\Softinterface, Inc\Convert Document To Image\CDTI.EXE" /S"C:\In\Coffee.DOC" /T "C:\Out\Cream.jpg"

Specifying a 'Conversion Job'
The syntax for specifying a 'Conversion Job'  is:

 CDTI.EXE /J{ConversionJobFile}  [/V] [/L{LogFile}]

Items above enclosed in square brackets “[ ]” are optional, all other ‘switches’ are required.  Therefore /J should always be specified on the command line.

 Example:

To run the 'Conversion Job' specified by "C:\MyJobs\convert-PDF-to-JPG.SII" type the following in at the 'Command Prompt':

 CDTI.EXE /J "C:\MyJobs\convert-PDF-to-JPG.SII"

For long file names you may be required to use double quotes.  For example /J "C:\Program Files\MyApp\convert-PDF-to-TIFF.SII".

Specifying a 'Conversion Task'

The syntax for the command line is:

CDTI /S{Input File(s)} /T{Output File(s)} [/1-9] [/V] [/R] [/L{LogFile}] [/I{override initialization file}] [/F#] [/C#] [/M1] [/W{PDF File Open Password}]
