Batch PDF's of Pagemaker files

[jackol74]

Hi
I am looking for a plug in/ programme that allows the capability to PDF around 200 pagemaker files ready to use as an attachement to then email to each clients. I do not have the time to open each pagemaker file and then pdf individually. Is there any way to do this in the back ground and quickly? Ie take a file, pdf it then place in another folder ready to be attached. Help!!

Well, you can get partway there by setting up a 'watched folder' in the Distiller menu. I don't know if you can automate the production of the postscript files from the PM files other than by opening the files, selecting 'print to distiller' and then saving to your watched folder. This will then automatically generate the PDFs according to the specs set in the Distiller job options folder.

Another thought - do you know how to do visual basic programming? There's probably a way to do it with this, but I suggest you ask the question over on the Acrobat forum.
