Does anyone know if there is any way to batch convert a lot of Pagemaker 6.5 files to PDF format? I haven't been able to find a way by myself, but I have found a batch converter from PostScript to PDF, so is there atleast a way to batch convert Pagemaker 6.5 to PostScript then? Thanks in Advance.

I would set up a watched directory, then open the files and File>Export to PDF... this would be the closest way to do so. This exports all docs to .ps files in the In bin of the watched folder. After exporting all docs, you just open distiller and if you set the job options correctly it will take over and convert all the files in the In bin to PDF and place them in the Out bin. Not as easy as a batch script but functional.

Adobe forums has a Scripting forum, and they may be able to help you wil a script, if it is that critical. When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.
