Command-Line Examples

Coolutils Converter X ships with CoolUtilsConverterX.exe, a console binary you can drive from scripts, scheduled tasks, CI runners, or any backend service. Output formats are PDF, TIFF, DOC, and XPS; input is auto-detected across the formats supported by the GUI. The recipes below cover the cases we hear about most often from SDK customers.

1. Convert a single file to PDF

The smallest possible call — one source, one destination, one target format.

CoolUtilsConverterX.exe "C:\inbox\report.docx" "C:\out\report.pdf" -cPDF

2. Batch a folder by mask

Process every matching file in a folder. The mask can mix formats — CoolutilsConverterX accepts the full input list, so a single run can swallow Word, HTML, RTF, image, and email files together.

CoolUtilsConverterX.exe "C:\inbox\*.*" "C:\out\" -cPDF

3. Detect input format by signature, not by extension

Upload pipelines often hand you files with wrong or missing extensions. -filesig tells the converter to look at the file header instead of the name.

CoolUtilsConverterX.exe "C:\uploads\*.*" "C:\out\" -cPDF -filesig

4. Multi-threaded batch for server-grade throughput

On a multi-core box, parallelise the queue. -threads 0 picks the optimal thread count automatically; specify a number to cap it.

CoolUtilsConverterX.exe "C:\inbox\*.*" "C:\out\" -cPDF -threads 0

Combine with -IgnoreInvalidSource if you'd rather skip a bad file than abort the whole run.

5. Queue-style processing: move successes and failures into separate folders

The standard backend pattern: a watcher drops files into inbox, the converter clears it, processed files land in done, files it couldn't handle land in quarantine for review.

CoolUtilsConverterX.exe "C:\inbox\*.*" "C:\out\" -cPDF -msuccess "C:\done" -merror "C:\quarantine" -threads 0

6. Combine many files into one PDF with a table of contents

-combine merges every input into a single PDF; -dco TOC generates a clickable table of contents from the source filenames.

CoolUtilsConverterX.exe "C:\reports\*.*" "C:\out\compendium.pdf" -cPDF -combine -dco TOC

Add -dco EveryFileNewPage to ensure each source starts on a fresh page.

7. Cap merged PDF size by splitting on a limit

For email attachment caps or storage tiers, set a size ceiling and the converter will produce as many sequential PDFs as needed.

CoolUtilsConverterX.exe "C:\reports\*.*" "C:\out\bundle.pdf" -cPDF -combine -pdflimit 10485760

The number is bytes — 10485760 is 10 MB. Output filenames get auto-incremented.

8. PDF/A archival output with full metadata

For records-management workflows requiring ISO 19005-compliant PDF/A. -pdfaver 2u targets PDF/A-2u; supported variants are 1b, 2b, 2u, 3b, 3u.

CoolUtilsConverterX.exe "C:\inbox\*.*" "C:\archive\" -cPDF -pdfa -pdfaver 2u -PDFAuthor "Acme Corp" -PDFTitle "Q3 Records" -PDFSubject "Records retention 2026" -FontEmbedding Full

9. AES-256 password-protected PDF with restricted permissions

Standard for sending sensitive documents to third parties: an owner password locks editing/printing rights, a user password gates opening the file, and AES-256 encryption replaces the legacy RC4 default.

CoolUtilsConverterX.exe "C:\inbox\*.*" "C:\out\" -cPDF -mp "owner-pwd" -up "user-pwd" -perm Print -perm Copy -EncryptStrength es256AES

Pass -perm multiple times to grant a combination of Print, Copy, Modify, Annotation, FormFill, HighResPrint.

10. Date-stamped output folder with detailed logging

The destination accepts <DATE> and <TIME> macros, so each run writes to its own bucket without scripting on top.

CoolUtilsConverterX.exe "C:\inbox\*.*" "C:\out\<DATE>_<TIME:hhmm>\" -cPDF -log "C:\logs\cucx.log" -verbosity detail -logmode append

For repeatable parameter sets across cron jobs, lift the flags into a config file and pass -optionfile "C:\configs\nightly.opt" instead.
