Options
When called from FFEXTERN, CVSINGLE has additional options passed using inter-program communication, not on the command-line. Much of the information that is passed is to avoid CVSINGLE needing to read the FS file. The following additional parameters and options are passed:
| Header/Footer/Margins/Fontsize | The data to be used for Internet Explorer and internal HTTP conversions |
| Datasource | The WordMerge Data Source file |
| Timeout/OpenTimeout | Overall and file-open timeout values |
| Converter Resolution | Derived from CONVERTER_RES in FS file |
| Converter Page Size | Derived from CONVERTER_PAGE in FS file |
| ForceConvert | Flag to override check of source and destination file times |
| String options | Derived from CVT_XLS_OPTIONS. PPT_COLORTYPE, or GSPDFx variables in FS file, depending on conversion type. |
| QPDF options | Derived from IMAGE_OPTIONS in FS file |
| Option Letters | Additional option letters |
| Destination Codes | Flags to indicate the presence of email address, phone number in FS, and what conversions are needed. |
