You can batch convert folders of files from one format to another by opening the "Batch Convert..." window from the Win2PDF Desktop "File" menu:

 

 

The "Convert Files From" setting allows you to configure the location of the files to convert. Any files in this folder that are supported will be converted to the "Convert To Format". You can type in the location, or click "Change Folder" to browse to the location.

 

The "Save To Folder" setting allows you to configure the location of the converted files. It must be a different location from the "Convert Files From" folder. You can type in the location, or click "Change Folder" to browse to the location.

 

The "Save Type" setting controls how the source files are converted.

 

The options are:

 

 

The "Merged File" options are only available if the "Convert To Format" is a PDF format. If the "Save Type" is set to one of the merged file types, the "Merged File Name" setting specifies the file name for the merged file.

 

If the "Include Subfolders" option is checked, all files in subfolders below the "Convert Files From" folder are also converted. The folder structure is mirrored in the "Save To" folder.

 

If one of the merged file options is also set, each subfolder will contain a merged file containing all files converted in the subfolder.

 

If the "Archive Source Document As Attachment" option is checked, the source document will be attached to the converted PDF as a shared attachment for future editing.

 

The file is added as a shared attachment, and is not visible in the destination PDF. The PDF can still be viewed in any PDF viewer, but attached files can only be opened in a viewer that supports attachments such as Adobe Reader.

 

To view shared attachments in Adobe Reader, go to  " ≡ ➜ View ➜ Show/Hide ➜ Side panels ➜ Attachments"

 

When this option is enabled, the attached source documents travel with the PDF. Be aware anyone receiving this PDF also has access to the source document.

 

The "Convert" button will start the conversion process.  Depending on the number of files in the "Convert Files From" folder and the "Convert To Format" selected, it can take a long time to convert all files.  The "Cancel" button remains active during the conversion process, and allows you to cancel the batch convert.

 

 

 

After the conversion is complete, a summary of the conversion is displayed.

 

You can also batch convert folders of files from one format to another using the BATCHCONVERT command line.
