Re: [RE: .pdfBatchMeister? - looking for a review]

Hello Rebecca -

   If you have the full-blown copy of Adobe Acrobat (the editing program =
that
comes with Distiller, not just the reader), you can set up 'watched folde=
rs'
and then dump your postscript files into these folders for Acrobat to con=
vert
these into pdf format.  Not sure if this will eat up the processor time f=
or
large jobs.  Looks like you can set how often Distiller will check for ne=
w
files in these folders.  For more info, check out the help file that come=
s
with Adobe Acrobat.
