Three steps about converting txt to image and setting color depth are as follows:
The first step is to open MS-DOS prompt window. You should press “Window”+ “R” on the keyboard to open “Run” dialog box in which you can input “cmd” in “Open” combo box and click “OK” button. You can also click “Start”—“Run” to open “Run” dialog box.
The second step is to input the command line for converting txt to image and setting color depth. The command line is made up of called program, parameter for setting color depth, source file and target file like the following one showing:
doc2pdf –b 1 –i C:\file-in.txt –o C:\file-out.jpg
Here we take “JPG” is the example of output image.
In the command line,
doc2pdf stands for the called program and you should use its path when you input the command line,
–b 1 specifies the color depth as 1-bit.
–i C:\file-in.txt stands for the path of source file.
–o C:\file-out.jpg is the name of target file.
In the command line, you can also change the number of the color depth as 8 or 24 to set the color depth as 8-bit or 24-bit.
