Quick Start - How To Apply Special Processing

Special Processing on files allows you to manipulate file contents. For example you can:

• Append files

• Remove empty lines

• Do a search and replace of specific text etc.

• Launch other applications from within CDTI

Follow these steps to use append or remove empty lines.

1. Special Process: Choose the process you want to apply from the dropdown list.

2. File Format: Select the form that the input file is saved in. The output file must also be saved in this format.

3. Select File(s)/Folders To Process: Browse for or type in the path to the file or folder you wish to process.

4. Select Output File(s) : Browse for or type in the location the file will be saved at. The format must match File Format in Step 1, e.g. an input doc file will result in an output doc file.

5. Click the Add button to add the task to the conversion task list. You may add multiple tasks to the conversion task list before initiating the conversion process by repeating Steps 1 - 5 as necessary.

Click the Convert (or F5) button to start the process.

Conversion jobs, consisting of one or more conversion tasks, may be saved, restored, and edited. Once saved, they may also be run from the command line and built in scheduler. See the File menu item to save a conversion job.
