BuildDocPreviews: Generating Dynamic Document Previews
The BuildDocPreviews.exe file allows you to generate dynamic document previews (static document previews not supported) for an entire Expere repository and lets you create a preview (PDF or RTF output) based on REQ files in a given source repository. This is a convenient method to generate previews of output PDFs without having to open each REQ file individually in the Requirements Editor.
Command line
example:
BuildDocPreviews --Format(-FOP|-TAG|-RTF) --RepositoryPath <Repository Path> --OutputPath <Output Path>| Options | Definition |
|---|---|
| --Format <FOP|RTF|TAG> (REQUIRED) | Defines output document format. Possible values: TAG, FOP, RTF |
| --RepositoryPath <RepositoryPath> (REQUIRED) | The path to the repository. |
| --OutputPath <OutputPath> (REQUIRED) | The path where output will be written. |
| --EngineTimeout <EngineTimeout> | Expere engine timeout [default: 250] |
| --version | Show version information |
| -?, -h, --help | Show help and usage information |
Example
In this example, the BuildDocPreviews application was installed to the default installation folder and the repository and output folder are at the c:\ root.
The following generates previews based on the repository using the FOP
rendering engine.
