2PDF is a powerful command line utility that provides comprehensive control over batch conversion of almost any image file or document to the Portable Document Format (PDF). Primarily designed for developers and system administrators, it offers a wide range of customizable conversion options, making it suitable for deployment on desktops, servers, or for invocation from other software. This tool enables full automation of daily tasks related to file conversion, eliminating the need for manual execution by allowing conversions to be run on schedule or via scripts using Windows Task Scheduler, BAT, CMD, PowerShell, or VBScript. Beyond basic conversion, 2PDF facilitates the creation of multiple PDF files simultaneously from diverse sources like Word documents and images. It includes robust features for managing multipage documents, such as merging various files into a single PDF or splitting multipage files into individual pages. Users can add text or image watermarks to protect documents from unauthorized use or to include additional information. The utility also provides precise control over page orientation with options for auto-rotation or specific degree rotation, including background color and rotation direction settings. A key capability is the creation of searchable PDFs using OCR technology, which extracts text from scans, images, and other non-searchable files, supporting English and other European languages. 2PDF supports an extensive list of input formats, ensuring broad compatibility across various document and image types, including Microsoft Office files, HTML, PostScript, Visio, Publisher, Photoshop, TIFF, CorelDraw, camera RAW, and HEIC photos.
