To edit a batch processing sequence:
1 In the Batch Edit Sequence dialog box, verify that the sequence of commands that
make up the batch processing sequence are correct. If you need to modify the commands
or the order of commands, click Select Commands and follow the steps for creating a new
batch sequence.
2 For Run Commands On, choose an option from the pop-up menu:
Choose Selected Files to select multiple individual files. On Windows, files must be in
•
the same folder; on Mac OS, files may be in different folders. On Windows, click Choose
to select the files; Shift-click to select contiguous files; and Ctrl-click to select noncon-
tiguous files. On Mac OS, Shift-click to select noncontiguous files.
Choose Selected Folder to batch process all the files in the selected folder and all its
•
subfolders. Click Choose to select the folder. Click Source File Options to select the
source file types to be processed. By default, all the acceptable file types are checked.
Choose Ask When Sequence Is Run to allow the user to specify files when the batch
•
processing begins.This option is useful if your batch processing sequence is applied to
a variety of files in different locations—for example, if your batch processing sequence
is used by different users in different locations.
Choose Files Open in Acrobat to process any currently open files. With this option, files
•
are not saved automatically but are left open for the user to save as required.
3 Choose where the processed files will be saved:
Specific Folder to designate a folder other than the source folder. Click Choose to locate
•
the folder.
Ask When Sequence Is Run to allow the user to determine where the files will be saved.
•
Same Folder as Original(s) to save all files back to their original locations.
•
4 Click Output Options to define file naming and output format options:
Select Same as Original(s) to keep the same filename as the source filename.The .pdf
•
extension will be used in Windows.
Select Add to Original Base Name(s) to add a prefix (Insert Before) or suffix (Insert After)
•
to the original filename. If you add a prefix or suffix to an existing filename, be aware
that long filenames may be truncated, depending on your operating system.
Select Don't Overwrite Existing Files if you want to avoid overwriting files with the same
•
name.
Use the Save File(s) As pop-up menu to select the file format used to save the processed
•
files.
Select the Fast Web View (PDF Only) option to optimize PDF files and reduce file size.
•
5 Click OK as required to return to the Batch Sequences dialog box, and click Run to apply
the batch processing sequence to the selected folders and files. Click Stop in the Progress
dialog box to halt processing. (Any files already processed are saved as defined in the
batch processing sequence.) The Batch Process progress box expands automatically to
show the percentage completion and any error or warning messages. Any error or
warning messages are displayed automatically when the Progress dialog box closes, and
errors are written automatically to the batch processing error log.
