How does it work?
Here is a quick tutorial of how you can find it and how you can start using the command-line feature. reaConverter provides a command-line tool called cons_rcp.exe
Usage:
cons_rcp.exe -s source_file -o output_file [cfg_file.cfg] [act_file.act] [/hide]
To convert one file from .jpg to .png run from cmd:
cons_rcp.exe -s "C:\Path_to\input_file.jpg" -o "C:\Path_to\output_file.png"
Batch images conversion
cons_rcp.exe deals with configuration .cfg and action .act files. A configuration file contains information on the output format and its settings, destination folder, additional settings, file options, file name modifications, conversion options (transparency color, loading settings, etc.), and, optionally, information on the file list. An action file takes care of the actions you need to apply to your images. Source files can be specified by "-f" parameter.
Both configuration and action files can be saved in reaConverter as well as in any text editor. However, we recommend saving them directly in reaConverter as it minimizes the risk of mistakes.
Batch image conversion and editing:
cons_rcp.exe "C:\Path_to\cfg_file.cfg" "C:\Path_to\act_file.act" -f source_file1 source_file2 source_file3
Any parameter from .cfg file can be specified in a command line:
cons_rcp.exe -s source_file -o output_file [-cfg_param1 value1] [-cfg_param2 value2]
For example:
cons_rcp.exe -s "C:\Path_to\input_file.png" -o "C:\Path_to\output_file.gif" -gif_transparent 1 -create_thumbnails 1
Batch BMP to JPG conversion from one folder to another:
cons_rcp.exe -source_folder "C:\Path_to\input_folder\" -source_ext bmp -dest_path "C:\Path_to\output_folder\" -dest_ext jpg -jpg_quality 100
Merge multiple JPEG images into one multipage PDF file:
cons_rcp.exe -f "JPEG_file_1.jpg" "JPEG_file_2.jpg" "JPEG_file_3.jpg" -o "PDF_multipage_file.pdf" -multipage_option 2
