All Command Line Switches

Switch

Meaning

/J{File}

Specify a 'Conversion Job' file (*.SII) to be done. You must have previously created a 'Conversion Job' file to use this switch.

/S{File}

Input File(s) to be converted.

A single file including its complete path can be specified for a one file conversion. For example:

 /S"D:\MyImageFiles\SingleImage.jpg"

If specifying a single file, make sure that the /T switch also specifies a single output file. For example:

/T"D:\OutputFiles\TargetOutput.PDF"

Alternatively, you can specify whole directories by using the wildcard syntax. For example:

/S"D:\MyImageFiles\*.png"

If specifying a whole directory, make sure the /T also specifies a whole directory. For example:

/T"D:\OutputFiles\*.PDF"

See also /R for doing subfolders.

/F #

Input file(s) type. /F must be followed by a number indicating the file type of the image to be converted. Please see the File Type Constants table below for a list of valid values.

/T{File}

Output File(s) to be created when converting the Input file(s) to PDF format.

See the /S{File} switch description for proper use of the /T{File} switch when specifying a single or multiple files to convert.

This switch is ignored if the /G switch is used.

/G

Save output files to same folder as the input files. Use this instead of /T to place the converted files in the same folder as the input file. This cannot be used when converting a single file. For a single file use the /T switch instead.

The output files will be saved with the same name as the input but with *.PDF extension. You cannot specify a different name for the output file when using the /G switch.

/V

Verbose mode. Specify this switch to display a message box indicating success or failure after the job has run. If a failure occurred a reason is usually displayed. See also /L.

/R

Recursive sub folders. Seek out and do all files found in the sub-folders specified in the /S switch.  You may add this switch if you are processing whole folders of files. See /S, /T and /G for more details on selecting whole directories to be converted.

/L{File}

Log file path and name (e.g. D:\MyLogs\ConvertITP.LOG) If this switch is specified a log file with the given path and name will be created and the results of the conversion will be written to it. See also /V and /Z.

/B{File}

Save the Log file as a 'Conversion Job' ONLY IF ERRORS OCCURRED. This is useful if the files that had problems, can be done at a later time, or with a different method. /B differs from /L, since the file generated with /B will not include extraneous comments not allowed in a 'Conversion Job' file. Save as a .SII file type so it can be loaded as a job.

[/+]

[/A{PDF Author}]

Specify the Author property of the PDF file.

[/D{PDF Creator}]

Specify the Creator property of the PDF file.

[/K{PDF Keywords}]

[/U{PDF Subject}]

Specify the Subject property of the PDF file.

[/I{PDF Title}]

Specify the Title property of the PDF file.

3 = CCITT3 Compression (1bpp)

4 = CCIT4 Compression (1bpp)

[/W{Tiff Pages}]
