3.4.1 Introduction

The CDFconvert program is used to convert various properties of a CDF. In all cases new CDFs are created. (Existing CDFs are not modified.) Any combination of the following properties may be changed when converting a CDF.

1. A CDF created with an earlier release of the CDF library (e.g., CDF V2.4) may be converted to the current library release.
2. The format of the CDF may be changed   (see Section 2.2.7).
3. The data encoding of the CDF may be changed   (see Section 2.2.8).
4. The variable majority of the CDF may be changed   (see Section 2.3.12).
