Automate save and optimize

Post by mister19stick »

We send scans as PDFs via email.
These need to be below a certain size.
In order to do this the user opens the PDF in PDF-XChange editor and saves as optimized.
I don't believe she makes any changes to the configuration.
This is very time-consuming.
It's such a simple operation.
It's ripe for automation.
Is there a way of doing this?
Thanks,
M

1. Open
2. Save As optimized
3, Close

Hello, mister19stick

Yes, you can automate this process with our PDF-Tools batch processing application: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/pdf-tools
Simply open PDF-Tools, select the "save as optimized" tool, double check the settings in place for the tool, and then double click the tool to begin selecting input files. Then all files selected will be processed, optimized, and saved according to the preset settings in a batch. You can also make custom tools, or configure folder monitors, if you wish to further automate the process.

Excellent news.
Is this licensed separately?

Hello, mister19stick

A license for PDF-Tools itself includes the basic PDF-Xchange Editor and Lite printer. If you need the EOCR function in PDF-Tools or the Editor, or the Form field creations tool in the Editor, you would instead want a PRO license, as that includes both products.

Hello, mister19stick

I'm sorry I don't know what it is you are asking here? as i mentioned above, a standalone license for PDF-Tools includes the Editor and Lite, or it can be included as a part of a PRO license. Those are the only two ways to purchase PDF-Tools currently.
