Save Files To

Destination Folder

Use Source Folder - When this option is selected, the original folder for the PDF document (in the batch process) will be used to save the output files.

Destination Folder - This option allows you to set a destination folder to place all of the processed files. You can type the destination manually or click on the "..." button to open a directory chooser to set the destination folder

File Name Pattern

Use Source Filename - Will save the document using the same original name. If another file exists in the directory, a number will be appended to the output file name, to avoid duplicate file names.

New Filename - When this option is selected, you will need to enter a new filename used for the output files. Each document name will have an incremental counter starting at zero appended to the file name entered in this field. Custom variables may also be used to further distinguish each of the file separations. The available variables are:

Overwrite Files - When set, if a file with the same name already exists in the directory it will be overwritten with the newly output document.

Note: This CAN NOT be undone. Make sure that you have all your settings correct prior to starting the batch process

Passwords to try when opening documents

To set a password click in the password field or on the Edit button. Then enter the password you want to be used. Do this for up to four passwords to try on password protected PDFs during the batch process.

Note: The passwords entered here will only be used for this batch process and will not be stored anywhere else. Passwords will have to be entered for each new batch process.
