  • Usage:doc2pdf [options] <-i Document Files> [-o Output]
  • Option: -k <keywords> : set PDF keywords
  • Examples:
    • “C:\ docPrint Pro v5.0\doc2pdf -k “pdf, xls, excel” -i C:\in.xls -o D:\out.pdf
    • “C:\ docPrint Pro v5.0\doc2pdf -k “pdf, xls, excel” -i C:\*.xls -o D:\*.pdf

In each example, the directory of the executable file is enclosed by quotation marks. It is because words in the directory are separated by spaces. The first example can convert a single XLS to PDF.
