The Batch command
The Batch command runs an action on a folder of files. If you have a digital camera or a scanner with a document
feeder, you can also import and process multiple images with a single action. Your scanner or digital camera may
need an acquire plug-in module that supports actions.
Note: I
f the third-party plug-in wasn’t written to import multiple documents at a time, it may not work during batch-
processing or if used as part of an action. Contact the plug-in’s manufacturer for further information.
You can also import PDF images from Acrobat Capture or other software programs.
When batch-processing files, you can leave all the files open, close and save the changes to the original files, or save
m
odified versions of the files to a new location (leaving the originals unchanged). If you are saving the processed files
to a new location, you may want to create a new folder for the processed files before starting the batch.

g the new action. To batch-process multiple folders, create aliases within a folder to the other folders you want
to process, and select the Include All Subfolders option.
For better batch performance, reduce the number of saved history states and deselect the Automatically Create First
Snapshot option in the History palette.
