With a command line PDF converter, you can transform files without a graphic interface (GUI). The special server edition of Total PDF Converter works with the ActiveX framework on Windows servers. Turn your data into any of the following file types:
CSV
DOC
EPS
HTML
PS
RTF
TXT
XLS.
You can also create images (BMP, EMF, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WMF).
Use the command line PDF converter without an internet connection - follow our guide to register your server copy offline and get started! Turn PDF to Excel by command line and complete a plethora of other tasks as often as necessary. All you need is a simple sequence - PDFConverter.exe (use quotation marks if the path contains spaces).
Opportunities for Server Use
Now you know how to convert PDF files by the command line. If you need to generate other document formats or images on web servers, use PDF Converter X. It can create the same variety of file types - from DOC to TIFF! This is a quick and easy way to transform PDFs for your own purposes. The command line PDF converter works well with server and desktop/client applications.
Usage: PDFConverter.exe <source> <destination> <options> If you have path with spaces, use quotation marks.
By the way you can use macros in the estination path
<DATE[:format]> - current date, default format is yyyymmdd
<TIME[:format]> - current time, default format hhmmss
For example: destination C:\<DATE>_<TIME:hhmm> will produce this file C:\20150318_1300
