Re: [Framers] Separate printed file for each chapter (waiting to click considered harmful)
Hi Bertrand, The feature is available in AP XI. I use it all the time. I have it set up so that I use the headless distiller from FM and under Settings, there is a Watched Folders option. I print the ps file to the appropriate Watched folder using the Adobe Acrobat PDF Printer and Acrobat Pro opens it immediately afterwards based on other settings. Does this help?

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. https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/creating-pdfs-acrobat-distiller.h tml Best regards Winfried Am 07.09.2022 20:48 schrieb "Bertrand Meyer (SIT)" : 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.
