When using the above command line utilities the type of output created is controlled by the settings passed in through the conversion profile, a XML file of name-value settings. A selection of common conversion profiles are included with Document Conversion Service. See the section Conversion Settings for more details, and instructions on creating your own custom profiles.
The command line utilities all return the following error codes:
•0 – success
•1 – failed
•2 – invalid parameters, when the command line tool has parameters
The results of each command line utility are sent to standard out, while any errors that may have happened are sent to standard error. To capture this information you can:
•use the output redirection operators > and >> to save or append the standard output results in a file
•use the pipe operator (|) to send the standard output to another program as input
•redirect only the standard output to a file with the operator 1>C:\DCS\files.txt
•redirect only the standard error to a file with the operator 2>C:\DCS\err.txt
