Helpful Hints for Using the Command Line

HINT 1: It is highly encouraged (at least during the initial creation of the command line) that you use the Verbose (/V) switch to see what the status of your conversion is and get any error messages.

HINT 2: It is highly suggested you first attempt your task using the User Interface prior to attempting to create an equivalent command line. Reasons for this are:

Make sure what you want to do can be done at all
Makes you aware of exactly what must be specified in the command line
Also, you can very quickly test the command line by doing the easiest of all approaches, specifying a 'Conversion Job' file.

HINT 3: A mistake can be made easily when constructing a command by confusing the file type constants for SPECIAL PROCESSES and the file type constants for CONVERSION of files. The file type constants are used with the /F# and /C# to specify original and target file types respectively. Be certain you are using the appropriate constants by reviewing the section on File Type Constants (shown below).
