Using Batch Processing commands

from problem files, and creates reports in designated locations. In addition, hot folders can
convert multiple file types (JPEG, HTML, RTF, and so on) to Adobe PDF or to PDF/X
using conversion settings you specify; preflight the files using specified profiles; and
output them in any format Acrobat supports, including Adobe PDF and PostScript.
