For you to better understand the command line, you can see the following example:

img2pdf –x 1 –o E:\OUT\file-out.pdf E:\IN\file-in.wmf

In the command line

img2pdf stands for the called program and you need to use its full path in the command line for calling it.

–x 1 is for creating searchable PDF document with OCR function.

–o E:\OUT\file-out.pdf is for specifying the path of target file.

If you don’t like to input the file path in MS-DOS interface, you can directly drag the file you need and drop it into the command prompt window.

At last, please press “Enter” button on the keyboard to run the conversion from WMF to searchable PDF document.
