Appendix B - Command Line Switches
Watched folder switch
-w [c:\done]
The watched folder switch starts a watched folder using the method of splitting specified by other
switches. This requires the -i, -o, -b, -d, and -e switches. For specifying what method of splitting to
use, only the -k 1 switch is currently supported for watched folders from the command line with the
-w flag.
Watching a folder for splitting based on a coordinate file is specified with the -wc flag, not the -w
flag. (note: for watched folders, the fragments are put into the output folder. On completion, the
file being split is put into the done or error folder.)
Watched folder by coordinate file switch
-wc [c:\coordinate.crd] [c:\input] [c:\output] [c:\busy] [c:\done] [c:\error]
The watched folder/coordinate file switch starts a watched folder, meaning that any pdf file
dropped into the input folder is split according to the specified coordinate file. Multiple watched
folders can be created using the -wc switch more than once. Each use of the - wc switch must be
followed by the six operands that specify the appropriate paths.
Overwrite switch for watched folder
-ow
The overwrite switch will overwrite the original output file using watch folders. To use the overwrite
switch the –wc or –w switch is required.
Overwrite switch
/de
This overwrite switch will overwrite the original output file. This switch can be used with the –k, –
m, or –x switch.
Update navigational elements switch
-ne
This switch will update all bookmarks and links in output files so that pages remain linked. This
switch can be used with the –k, –m, –x, –wc or –w switch. When using the –wc switch, –ne must
be placed before the –wc switch.
Page range switch
-r [1-5]
The page range switch uses two numbers separated by a dash to specify a range of pages that are
split from the file specified by the -i input switch and saved in a newly created file whose name is
specified by the -o output switch. The -i and -o switches are required.
