3.6.2. Running a Sequence
The Batch Processing feature allows you to run a sequence over a folder of files. There
are also options available to sort the file order and include subfolders. To run a
sequence, follow these steps:
1. Open Adobe Acrobat.
2. From the menu bar, go to ‘Plug-ins> ARTS PDF Aerialist Professional >
Productivity > Batch Processing > Execute Sequence’ to open the Execute
Sequence dialog.
3. For Sequence, select the name of the sequence you wish to execute.
4. For Source Folder, browse to the folder containing the files you wish to process.
Note: only one folder can be selected at a time and all files within the folder will be
processed.
5. For Output Folder, browse to the folder where modified or processed files will be
placed.
6. Click “Run” to begin the sequence.
The following options are available:
• Include subfolders
Files found within the output folder and its subfolders will be processed. The
output files are placed in the same folder structure as the source folder.
• Order By
Files are processed in the specified order.
Note: You can check details of a file, such as creation date and modification date, by
opening it in Acrobat and then going to ‘File > Document Properties’.
• Same folder as original
The output folder will be the same of that specified for the Source Folder.
Note: It is recommended that when using this option that you don’t select the ‘Overwrite
if file exists’ option. This will ensure that your original files are not replaced with the
modified file should it be that the modified file has the same name as the original file.
• Prefix
Text within the textbox will be appended to the start of the output filename.
• Suffix
Text within the textbox will be appended to the end of the output filename.
• Save File(s) As
Output file(s) will be saved as the file type selected. The available options are
Adobe PDF File, Encapsulated PostScript, JPEG Files, PNG Files, PostScript File,
Rich Text Format, Text (Accessible) and TIFF Files. Additional options are
available with Acrobat 6 and 7; these options are HTML3.2, HTML 4.01 with CSS
1.00, JPEG2000, Microsoft Word Document, Text (Plain) and XML 1.0.
