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.
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.
You can also import PDF images from Acrobat Capture or other software.
When batch-processing files, you can leave all the files open, close and save the changes to the original files, or save modified 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.
To batch-process using multiple actions, create a new action that plays all the other actions, and then batch-process using 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 panel.
