And the example above is about the conversion of the single rtf file, however, what if we need to customize the properties of the hpgl file? Please remeber DOC to Any Converter Command Line will never fail you, and in the following example, we use “<options>” to stand for all the parameters you could input, thus, to edit the properties of the targeting file, please see the example below:

It is noticed that any parameters must be typed after the start of the converting tool and before the inputting of the source file, or it will never work well, even will have an impact on the whole conversion.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To convert the single rtf to hpgl from each page to each page-----convert each page of single rtf to single page hpgl files, DOC to Any Converter Command Line still could help you, and here is the example below:

C:\Documents and Settings\admin>D:\doc2any_cmd\doc2any.exe<space><options><space> D:\f\dog.rtf<space>E:\out\dog%.hpgl<enter>

The key point to get the single hpgl files from each page of rtf, is to input the percent character “%” behind the targeting file name.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The examples above are all about the conversion of the single rtf file, and you may ask how to process dozens of rtf files one time, well, your thought just cut to the point here. If you want to convert rtf to hpgl in batches, first please make sure that all of source files could be in the uniform folder, and then use the wildcard character “*” in the conversion to process all of the source files in the uniform folder one time, more details, please refer to the following example:

C:\Documents and Settings\admin>D:\doc2any_cmd\doc2any.exe<space><options><space> D:\f\*.rtf<space>E:\out\*hpgl<enter>
Thank you for choosing our product.

Note: the key point to convert Rich Text Format to hpgl in batches is to replace all the file names with the wildcard character “*”.
