Usage: doc2pdf [options] <-i Document Files> [-o Output]
The option for PDF subject setting is -j <subject>. The following are some tips: First, the character string should be enclosed by quotation marks. Second, the input path must follow -i and the output path must follow -o. Please take a look at the two examples as follow:

- "C:\docPrint Pro v5.0\doc2pdf.exe" -j "ppt2pdf" -i C:\in.ppt -o E:\out.pdf
