Command-line Interface

The Command-line Interface is provided as an executable file. You can call it from either a Windows batch file or a Linux shell script.

Office Server Document Converter V10.0 can be executed from the Command-line Interface by:

Executable File Name

The executable file names are as follows:

WindowsSBCCmd.exe
Linux SBCCmd

Environment Variables have to be set in order to execute these files. In Windows versions, these are automatically set by the installer. In Linux versions, they have to be set. See Environment Variables and Symbolic Links.

Running Command-line program on Windows

To run the command-line program of Office Server Document Converter V10.0 for Windows, enter the following command:

> cd [Install directory] > SBCCmd -d samples\sample.doc -o \tmp\sample.pdf

If Office Server Document Converter V10.0 for Windows is successfully installed, the following message will be displayed:

SBCCmd : Office Server Document Converter V10.0 XX for Windows (XX,XX,XXXX,XXXX) Copyright (c) 1999-20XX Antenna House, Inc. SBCCmd : Formatting finished normally.

Then you can view sample.pdf in the \tmp directory.

Running Command-line program from a Shell Script

In Office Server Document Converter V10.0 for Linux , the installation program will place the shell script file named run.sh in the [Install directory]. This is a sample shell script for running the command-line program SBCCmd. This script sets the necessary environment variables in the shell, and runs SBCCmd. To run the command-line program of Office Server Document Converter V10.0 for Linux using this script, enter the following command from your terminal window:

$ cd [Install directory] $ ./run.sh -d samples/sample.doc -o /tmp/sample.pdf

If Office Server Document Converter V10.0 for Linux is successfully installed, the following message will be displayed, then you can get sample.pdf in /​tmp directory:

SBCCmd : Office Server Document Converter V10.0 XX for Xxxxxx (XX,XX,XXXX,XXXX) Copyright (c) 1999-20XX Antenna House, Inc. SBCCmd : Formatting finished normally.

The same parameters in the same formats apply to both SBCCmd and run.sh.

Command-line Parameters

The following parameters apply to the Command-line Interface: Parameters with “*” in the following table indicate a negative meaning if no is placed in the beginning of the command.

When specifying a path name that contains a space, the path name must be enclosed in double quotation marks. If two conflicting parameters are specified, the last parameter on the line takes precedence.

Parameter Functions
-d Original-Document Specifies the URI of the original document to be converted.
  • When -d @STDIN is specified, document is loaded from standard in.
If this parameter is omitted, the program will process standard in.
-o Output-File Specifies the path name of the resulting output file.
  • When -o @STDOUT is specified, the result is written to standard out.
  • If both the printer name and this property are specified, the printed result will be stored in the file using the printer driver.
  • When a setting other than printer is specified in a parameter, results will be stored in the file specified by this parameter in the format specified by -p parameter.

-i Option-Setting-File Specifies the path name of “Option Setting File” which defines Office Server Document Converter V10.0 options in XML format. Any number of these parameters can be specified. If any content of this file is changed it automatically overwrites the previous settings. Because only a described parameter in the Option Setting File is evaluated, it is possible to change a part of setting by adding a file that describes those parameters that should be changed. If conflicting values for a parameter are specified in the Option Setting File and the Command-line, the last specified value overwrites the previous value.
-p Output-Format / Printer-Name Specifies the output format of the converted results or specifies the printer name when results should be printed. If this parameter is omitted, -p @PDF is automatically specified.
  • When -p @STDPRN is specified, the standard printer is used.

  • When -p @SVG is specified, the converted result is output as SVG.
  • When -p @XPS is specified, the converted result is output as XPS.
  • When -p @INX is specified, the converted result is output as INX.
  • When -p @Flash is specified, the converted result is output as Flash.
  • When -p @JPEG is specified, the converted result is output as JPEG.
  • When -p @PJPEG is specified, the converted result is output as progressive JPEG.
