2 After the file has been converted, move the PDF file out of the Out folder to save it.
To interrupt or cancel a processing job:
Do one of the following in the Distiller window:
Click Pause to have Distiller stop distilling after it finishes processing the current
•
PostScript file. Click Resume when you're ready to go on to the next file.
Click Cancel Job to stop processing on the current PostScript file. Distiller begins
•
processing the next file. If a PDF file is partially processed, Distiller creates a log file (with
the name filename.log) reporting that the job was terminated at the user's request.The
log file is saved in the same folder as the PostScript file.
Setting up watched folders
You can configure Distiller to look in certain folders for PostScript files.When Distiller finds
a PostScript file in the In folder in one of these watched folders, it converts the file to
Adobe PDF and moves the resulting PDF file to the Out folder. A watched folder can have
its own Distiller job options and security settings that will apply to all files processed from
that folder.
Distiller does not convert a PostScript file in a watched folder if the file is marked with
read-only permission.
Important: You cannot set up watched folders as a network service for other users. Every
user who creates Adobe PDF files must have an Acrobat license. Use watched folders only
for converting your own files.
To set up watched folders:
1 In the Acrobat Distiller dialog box, choose Settings > Watched Folders.
2 For each folder you want to add, click Add. Use the browser to select the folder, and
click OK. Distiller automatically puts an In folder and an Out folder in the watched folder.
Distiller can monitor up to 100 watched folders.
You can place In and Out folders at any level of a disk drive. In Windows, for example, you
can create a pair of DOS folders E:\In and E:\Out by selecting E:\ as a watched folder.To do
this in Mac OS, select the drive as a watched folder.
3 For each folder you want to remove, click Remove.
Note: When you remove a watched folder, Distiller does not delete the In and Out folders,
their contents, or the Folder.JobOptions file. You can delete these when appropriate.
4 Set options for the folders:
To define security options for a folder, select the folder, click Security, and set the

options you want. See
