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>
Table 1. Arguments

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.
