How do I convert just the directory I want and not all its subdirectories?

When converting a folder, Docto will by default convert all subdirectories also. By using the --no-subdirs parameter you can prevent this.

This is the command line to restrict use to just the directory you want.

Command Line

docto -WD -f 'c:\path\' -o 'c:\output\' -t wdFormatPDF --no-subdirs

or easier to read

docto  -WD 
       -f 'c:\path\' 
       -o 'c:\output\' 
       -t wdFormatPDF 
       --no-subdirs

Command Line Explained

• -WD : This is a conversion using Microsoft Word.
• -f : The File or directory to be converted
• -o : The Output File or Directory where you would like the converted file to be written to.
• -T : The file format type that is being converted to
• --no-subdirs : Don't rescurse subdirs. Only convert files in requested dir.
