The following will show you how to take three steps to set the margin as you convert MHTML to PDF via command line.
Step 1: Open the command prompt window
Four steps are enough to open the command prompt window: click “Start” in the lower-left corner of the computer screen; > click “Run” on the menu; > When the “Run” dialog box appears, enter “cmd” in it. > Click “OK” and the command prompt window will appear on the screen right away.
Step 2: Type a command line
The command line should consist of the following four: the directory of the executable file, the command for margin setting, the directory of the input file and the directory of the output file. Maybe the following pattern can make it clearer.
htmltools -margin <string> <MHTML file> <PDF file>
- htmltools is the executable file of VeryPDF HTML Converter Command Line.
- -margin <string> is the command that can be used to set the margin. The angle brackets are usually used to enclose essential contents. string refers to character string. The parameter value following –margin can be divided into four types:
- -margin 10 : Set margin to 10pt to left
- -margin 10x10 : Set margin to 10pt to left, top
- -margin 10x10x10 : Set margin to 10pt to left, top, right
- -margin 10x10x10x10 : Set margin to 10pt to left, top, right, bottom
- MHTML file is the input file.
- PDF file is the output file.
The following command line is a proper example, which is composed of the four items mentioned above, and includes the directories of the files.
D:\htmltools\htmltools.exe -margin 10x10 C:\in\*.mhtml D:\out\*.pdf
- D:\htmltools\htmltools.exe ---- the directory of the executable file. It represents the executable file htmltools.exe located in the folder htmltools on disk D.
- -margin 10x10 ---- the command that can be used to set the margin to 10pt to left and top.
- C:\in\*.mhtml ---- the directory of the input files. The file extension specifies MHTML as the input format. The wildcard * represents all the input files in the folder in on disk C.
- D:\out\*.pdf ---- the directory of output files. The file extension specifies PDF as the output format. It indicates that all the result files should be placed in the folder out on disk D.
You can replace the directories in the example above with the directories of the files in your computer first, then copy it and paste it to the command prompt window.
Step 3: Press “Enter”
The last step is pretty simple, the only thing you need to do is to press the key “Enter”. Your computer will prompt to convert MHTML to PDF right away. When you see “result=OK” in the command prompt, it means that the computer has converted one of the files.
