Last Saturday, my sister asked me to help and teach her to set page size and convert Word to PDF via command line. Usually, she would prefer to use the GUI (graphic user interface) version of VeryPDF Document Converter, her favorite desktop tool. But this time, she told me, because she had a lot of documents to convert, and she would like to try the command line version of VeryPDF Document Converter to convert the documents. And yes, she was right: we found the command line version of VeryPDF Document Converter was really powerful.
