You can speed up the batch editing work flow by tagging your files. For example, you can quickly tag
the files you want to change, then click Tagged in the Organize pane to display all the tagged files in
the File List pane. Then you can select the files and choose a batch editing tool or the Batch Processor
wizard.

Converting multiple images to another file format
You can convert multiple images to any supported file format. You can set the options for each format
individually, specify how to handle multiple-page images, and apply the conversion defaults
automatically. The Convert File Format Wizard guides you through the process.
To convert an image to another file format:
1 Do one of the following:
• In the Browser, select one or more images, and then click Tools | Batch Convert File Format.
• In the Viewer, click Modify | Convert File Format.
2On the Select a format page, select a new format for your image or images from the list displayed
on the Format tab. Select the Advanced Options tab to change the settings for this wizard, or
click Next to continue.
3On the Set output options page, identify where you want to place the converted images, and
specify how you want the wizard to handle any file name conflicts by selecting one of the
following options from the Overwrite existing files drop-down list:
• Ask: prompts you when overwriting a file.
• Skip: cancels the operation if there is a file with the same file name and extension.
• Replace: overwrites the file without prompting for confirmation.
• Rename: prompts you to rename the file.
4On the Set multiple page options page, you can specify how you want to handle any multiple-
page images you are converting. If you did not select any multiple-page images to convert, and
did not specify a multiple-page image format as your output file format, you can skip the options
on this page.
5 When you are satisfied with your choices, click Start Convert, and wait a few seconds while the
wizard converts your images.
To get more help with any of the controls within the Convert File Format Wizard,
