For example, when I need to rotate page during the process of converting DOC to PDF, I will use a single command line. If you are interested, you can download VeryPDF Document Converter and try it. Before you pay for it, you can use it free for 50 times.
I would take two steps to convert DOC to PDF and rotate page via command line.
The first step is to run the Window Command Prompt. I am a Window XP user, so, I can show you how to run the Windows Command Prompt:
- Method 1: Click Start, > Run, > type cmd, > press Enter.
- Method 2: Click Start, > click Command Prompt.
The second step is to type a command line. Before type a command line, please read the usage, the option and the example, then, you will know what should be included in the command line you are going to type. After type a command line, please press Enter.
- Usage: doc2pdf [option>] <-i input file> [-o output file]
- Option: -R <Rotate>
- Example: “C:\docPrint Pro v5.0\doc2pdf.exe” –R 90 -i C:\in.doc -o D:\out.pdf
The option -R <Rotate> can be used to rotate a page by 90, 180, or 270 degree. Attention, the path of the file must be enclosed by quotation marks if there is a space in the path. This is why the path of the executable file is enclosed. You see, there is a space before and after Pro respectively in “C:\docPrint Pro v5.0\doc2pdf.exe”.
