pdfDocs right-click menu choices (sample here) are active when one or more files are selected on the visible worklist. However, pdfDocs only converts and outputs one PDF file at a time, unless you choose the Load into Project option.
• With multiple files selected on a Worldox worklist, choosing the Load into Project option does indeed convert all selected files to PDF, then lists them - ready for output - in the pdfDocs window.
You can choose one or more files in that window to save PDFs to Worldox as a new document or related document, or attach and email. If multiple files are selected in this window, they are combined and output as one PDF file - not as separate PDFs.
Tip: Selecting multiple files for output in the pdfdocs window combines those files, creating one PDF. If you want each PDF as a single file, you have to select and output files one at a time in that window. |
• If you select multiple files on the Worldox worklist, then choose any other active pdfDocs right-click option on the Send To menu, only the first file selected is actually converted to PDF and saved or output as requested.
Here are best practice guidelines for batch-generating PDFs using the Productivity Suite pdfDocs module:
• If you need to have each converted file available as a separate PDF, then save/output one file at a time from the Worldox worklist.
Or:
• Batch-select files on the worklist, then select Send To > Load into Project from the right-click menu.
• Once in the pdfDocs window, save/output one file at a time.
• If combining multiple files into one PDF is acceptable, then:
• Select all files to be converted on the Worldox worklist. then select Send To > Load into Project from the right-click menu.
• Once in the pdfDocs window, save/output all files at once.
Note: For more on working with the pdfDocs window, see the "Load into Project" option.
