One-Shot Document Conversion
CVSINGLE [-options] inputfile outputfile [tempfolder]
The CVSINGLE program converts any of the supported documents to faxable TIF format. The use of this program avoids the need to create an FS file for processing by FFEXTERN. Because no user profile is available to the conversion process, option settings are made using the command-line options described below.
As with all conversion operations of this type, CVSINGLE requires the Copia Document Converter printer driver to be installed.
This program must not be run on the same machine as FFEXTERN and must not be run in a way that could permit multiple instances to be active. For more information, see the description of Document Conversion features.
The command-line options are as follows:
| A | use Acrobat Professional V6/V7/V8 for XIF and non-faxable TIF |
| C | force use of Microsoft Office 2003 components |
| E | use eiStream Imaging |
| F | use Firefox/Mozilla |
| G | use Ghostscript for PDF and PS |
| H | use Microsoft Word for local HTML instead of IE |
| I | ignore last modification times (web only) |
| K | force use of Microsoft Office 2000 components |
| M | use ImageMaker Imaging |
| N | use internal HTML converter instead of IE |
| S | use Star Office instead of Microsoft Office |
| T | (obsolete, ignored) |
| V | force use of Microsoft Office 97 components |
| W | (obsolete, ignored) |
When multiple command-line switches are needed, they should be entered as a single string of letters preceded by a '-' sign.
Note that the applicable application must be installed on the machine running CVSINGLE. The tempfolder parameter specifies a temporary local folder into which the printer driver writes its output, before it is copied to the final output file. This avoids any issues with network permissions from driver-level code.
From release 7.246 onwards, CVSINGLE returns a count of converted pages on successful conversion, instead of 0. In addition the pagecount value will be incremented by 1000 if both no conversion was done because of the relative file times and Staged Local Copy is enabled. In this case no file needs to be moved from the Staged Local area.
Negative values of error levels returned by CVSINGLE are listed in Document Conversion Errors.
Examples:
CVSINGLE "c:\My Documents\Report.doc" @FFBASE\temp\report.tif c:\temp
CVSINGLE -n sample.html sample.tif
