Typical Usage

In order to recursively convert Visio files within a folder, use the --input flag followed by the full path to that folder. This tool will then save the converted files to the directory specified by the --output flag, which could be the same as --input.

If the --collapse flag is used, this will mean that even if there are multiple nested folder in the input directory, all converted files will be saved the the root/top-level of the output directory.

Generally, when working with folders that contain older .vsd formatted Visio project files, the --vsd flag will have to be used first in order to convert the files to the .vsdx format, which will then be able to be converted to .pdf using the --pdf flag.
