BarTender Document Commands

/F=<path and file name>

Specifies a BarTender document to load. Conventional DOS file naming conventions are used. Wildcards * and ? are supported for opening multiple documents. You can also have more than one /F= parameter. A default file extension of .BTW is assumed, if none is specified. A full path to the document may need to be specified. For more information on path and file names, refer to How BarTender Processes Path and File Names.

If you load a BarTender document that is stored in Librarian's repository, BarTender requires that you place quotation marks around the file path and file name. For an example of the required command line, refer to Command Line Parameter Reference (see the table of command line examples).

/FA=<path and file name>

Similar to the /F= parameter; however, if a BarTender document has already been loaded and any changes happen to it during a print job, BarTender will ask if you would like to save your changes before the new document is loaded.

/AF[=<path and file name>]

/AF alone specifies that all document-relative commands, such as /P and /D, apply to the document that is currently active. /AF=<path and file name> is similar to /F=, but it also specifies that the specified document is now the active document. Use this command if you have more than one /F= command or you used wildcards with an /F= command. (Wildcards cannot be used with /AF= and there can only be one /AF=.)

/CLOSE

Closes all open BarTender documents without saving. To close the active document only, use /CLOSE with /AF. To save the open documents prior to closing, use the /S command with /CLOSE.

Forces a save without asking the user.
