Process a batch of files
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: If 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.
