The VDPMill command line syntax is the following:

            Usage: com.renderx.df.Main -h|--help|
                or
            [-d ] -c configfile -p|--project projectfile
                or
            [-d ] -c configfile -o outputdir actions
            [-f format ] [-j format ]
            [--pre-split-stylesheet stylesheet ]
            [--post-split-stylesheet stylesheet ]
            [--post-process-tranpromo] [--post-process-omr]
            [--post-process-sequence] files
              

where:

• -h, --help - print help and exit.

• -d - turn the debug mode on. Prints detailed information.

• -c configfile - the VDPMill configuration file. A relative path is resolved relative to the current directory.

• -p projectfile - VDPMill project file. If this option is set, all options described below will be ignored. A relative path is resolved relative to the current directory.

• --pre-split-stylesheet - XSLT stylesheet to apply to input documents before splitting.

• --post-split-stylesheet - XSLT stylesheet to apply to input documents after splitting.

• -o output - output directory if many files are produced, or a single output file.

• -f format - output format. One of the formats supported by the generator selected in the generator configuration file. Can be specified multiple times to produce many output files from each formatted file.

• -j format - output format to join files. If there is no split action, all the input files will be joined together. Otherwise each input file will be split into chunks and joined together after formatting. Can be specified multiple times to produce many output files.

• actions - actions to perform on the input file(s):

  • split - split input file(s).

  • split format - split input file(s) and then format split chunks, generate output file(s) for selected output format(s), join split chunks together if -j format specified, write output files in the output directory.

• --post-process-omr - enable predefined OMR post-processing.

• --post-process-transpromo - enable predefined Transpromo post-processing.
