39
Foxit Convert2PDF User Manual
www.foxitsoftware.com
25
The optional argument (-rotate) is used to set page rotation for the output PDF files. The setting

convert2pdf -i “www.foxitsoftware.com” -o d:\output\foxit.pdf -rotate 90
f)
Check lazy load (-checklazyload)
The optional argument (-checklazyload) is used to improve the conversion quality if the webpages
include lazy loading elements or if the network/hardware performance is not good enough. This
argument is valid only for html conversion.
Note The -checklazyload argument is useful in the following two situations:
Some special long webpages use lazy loading design pattern to make the page load faster
and reduce server load, therefore some web elements are designed to be delayed loading,
which will affect the conversion quality.
If the network or hardware performance is not good enough, the web elements loading will
be influenced, which will also affect the conversion quality.
If this argument is set, the tool will spend at least 5 seconds waiting for loading the web elements
before starting conversion, which can help improve the conversion quality.
Usage Example
1)
Improve the conversion quality if the webpages include lazy loading elements or if the
network/hardware performance is not good enough (-checklazyload)
convert2pdf -i c:\input\html_1.html -o d:\output\html_1.pdf -rotate 90
convert2pdf -i test\html_2.html -o output\html_2.pdf -rotate 90
convert2pdf -i c:\input -o d:\output -rotate 90
