HPGL is short for HP Graphics Language Plotter File, which is the format of a printer instruction file. The HPGL file is a vector image file, which could contain a few lines of setup commands followed by a list of printing commands that could tell the plotter what and where to draw on the page. HPGL is based on the plotter language developed by Hewlett-Packard that is used for sending information to plotter printers, which could draw images using lines instead of dots like an ordinary laser or inkjet printer.

C:\Documents and Settings\admin>D:\doc2any_cmd\doc2any.exe<space><options><space> D:\f\*.xls<space>D:\doc2any_cmd\*hpgl<enter>

note: through the conversion above, all of xls files in the folder of “f” could be converted into the folder of “doc2any_cmd”.
To process each page of xls file to hpgl file separately, “%” could be used following the targeting file name, here is the example below:
C:\Documents and Settings\admin>D:\doc2any_cmd\doc2any.exe<space><options><space> D:\f\behind.xls<space>D:\doc2any_cmd\behind%.hpgl<enter>
