Thanks… but I looked up “watched folders” and only found complaints that the feature used to be in Distiller ages ago and is not available in Acrobat. I must be looking in the wrong place or under the wrong name. I am using Acrobat XI Pro.

I want PDF files. I used to print Postscript files (back in the days when everyone was wearing a tie to work), then “distill” them to PDF (sounds like deliciously nostalgic terminology)… Should I still do that?

Could it be that you had not activated to print to a Postscript file?

I tried it again now but I have to wait for each chapter to print and display in Acrobat, then click OK to approve the file name for the next chapter (even though it's just <chaptername>.pdf in the chosen directory). This is utterly crazy! For a small book it took me a good 10 minutes of just waiting and clicking, but my next book is 40+ chapters! There are better things to do with one's life than waiting for the computer to condescend to letting you click predictable modal dialogs. There must be a "do this for me and tell me when you are done" option (as I think there was in older versions) but I didn't find it. Any help?
