Hi Bertrand,
I have the latest version of Distiller, and it works well. Just test
it. Create a single Postscript file, make some copies and move
everything into a watched folder.

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.
With best regards,

Hi Bertrand,
You have to print to Postscript files and then use a watched folder to
convert all in one go to PDF via Acrobat.

Thanks. I don’t print to Postscript, why should I? 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?

Hi Bertrand,
I do this regularly, and it works very well.
Could it be that you had not activated to print to a Postscript file?
Best regards

I haven't for a long time used the "Print separate file for each
chapter"
option for printing a book. 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?
Thanks,
