Specifying a Conversion Task

The syntax for the command line is:

CDTI /S{Original File(s)} /T{Target File(s)} [/1-9] [/V] [/R] [/L{LogFile}] [/I{override initialization file}] [/F#] [/C#] [/M1] [/G]

Items above enclosed in square brackets "[ ]" are optional, all other 'switches' are required. Therefore /S and /T should always be specified on the command line. There is one exception however, and that is when /G is specified, the /T switch is not necessary.

You can include or exclude spaces between switches and parameters. For example, "/C6" is the same as "/C 6".

Command line switches are case sensitive, therefore /V is valid and /v is not.

For long file names (e.g. a path or file name with spaces in it, or longer than 8.3 format) you are required to use double quotes. For example:

CDTI.exe /S"C:\Input Folder\My App\My Doc.DOC" /T"C:\Out Folder\A.JPG" /4 100 /V

Next, read about each command line switch and then dive into the examples.
