Creating Conversion Jobs

A basic conversion job will convert a folder of files to searchable PDF and save the converted files to another folder.

• FileConvert searches or watches a folder for files like images or PDFs.
• Subfolders can be ignored or included
• Image files are converted to searchable PDF and moved to a new location

The classic use for a basic conversion job is a network scanner. Most network scanners saver scans to a folder. FileConvert will watch this folder. Each new scan that arrives will get converted and moved to an output folder that you specify.
