Parameters

-b
This parameter is used to run the PDF2PDFUA transform in batch mode. The transform converts all the PDF files from a directory using a single control file that is specified through the -i parameter to PDF/UA files.

To specify the number of threads, add the number right after the -b flag. Default thread number is 1.

    Note:
  • In batch mode, the input directory and output directory parameters are mandatory. The input directory parameter replaces the input file parameter.
-linearize
This parameter is optional.
The implicit value is not specified.
  • If the value is true, the output is linearized.
  • If the value is false, the output is not linearized, even if the input is linearized.
  • If the value is not specified, the output is linearized only if the input is linearized.
-encrypt
This parameter is optional.
By default, the user has no permission. The following flags are used to grant permissions:
-allowAnnotations
-allowAssemble
-allowCopy
-allowFill
-allowModify
-allowPrintDegraded
-allowPrintHigh
-allowPrint, -allowPrintDegraded, or -allowPrintHigh.
-decryptpassword
This parameter removes the original encryption.
-keypassword
This parameter opens locked documents without removing the original encryption. The permissions are preserved.
-traceregular expression
This parameter is used to debug control files. All tracing elements are active by default in command line mode.
-validate
This parameter enables the validator. It can be used without a control file when you pre-validate the input PDF. If a control file is specified, it also checks the output PDF.
