Question
I recently discovered the /System/Library/Printers/Libraries/convert
tool that is able to convert HTML, DOC, ... to PDF.
It works great but it has some optional arguments that are not documented: -a 'name=value ...'
. I am really interested about them because these are supposed to control more of the 'printing' process.
/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/convert
Usage: convert [ options ]
Options:
-e Use every filter from the PPD file
-f filename Set file to be converted (otherwise stdin)
-o filename Set file to be generated (otherwise stdout)
-i mime/type Set input MIME type (otherwise auto-typed)
-j mime/type Set output MIME type (otherwise application/pdf)
-P filename.ppd Set PPD file
-a 'name=value ...' Set option(s)
-U username Set username for job
-J title Set title
-c copies Set number of copies
-u Remove the PPD file when finished
-D Remove the input file when finished
No correct solution
