Switch

Meaning

/J{File}

Specify a conversion job file (*.SII) to do. You must have previously created a conversion job file to use this switch.

/S{File}

Original File(s) to be converted.

A single file including its complete path can be specified for a single file conversion (i.e. "D:\MyPPTFiles\MyPresentation.PPT".

If specifying a single file, make sure that the /T switch also specifies a single output file (i.e. "D:\MyOutput\TargetOutput.PDF".

Alternatively, you can specify whole directories by using the wildcard syntax (i.e. "D:\ MyPPTFiles \*.PPT"). If specifying a whole directory, make sure the /T also specifies a whole directory with a new target file extension. (i.e. "D:\MyExcelFiles\*.PDF").

See also /R for subfolders.

/T{File}

Target File(s) to be created after conversion. These files are created from the Original file(s) and the conversion method selected.

If specifying a single file, make sure that the /S switch also specifies a single input file (i.e. "D:\MyOutputFiles\TargetOutput.HTM".

Alternatively, you can specify whole directories by using the wildcard syntax (i.e. "D:\MyPPTFiles\*.PDF"). If specifying a whole directory, make sure the /S also specifies a whole directory with an original file extension. (i.e. "D:\MyOutputFiles\*.TXT")

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

/C #

File type of the Target file(s). The target file(s) path is specified with the /T or /G switch. This switch specifies the file type of these file(s).

Please see File Type Constants table for valid values.

/Y #

Start converting FROM this slide number. If /Y and /Z are not specified then CPPT defaults to conversion of all slides.

/Z #

Convert up TO and including this slide number. If /Y and /Z are not specified then CPPT defaults to conversion of all slides.

/E

Use this switch to create a new file for Every slide converted. If not specified a single file will be created containing all.

/G

Save files to their original folders. Use this instead of /T to place the converted files in the same folder as the original file. Cannot be used when converting a single, specified file from within a folder. Use the /T switch instead.

/V

Verbose mode. Specify this switch to display a message box indicating how the conversion went. See also /L

/R

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

/F #

File type of the Original file(s). Used for special processing only (concatenation). The original file(s) path are specified with the /S switch. This switch specifies the file type of these file(s).

Please see File Type Constants table for valid values.

/L{File}

Log file path and name (i.e. d:\mylogs\WCE.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

/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 is different 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.
