This is not a violation of using the application on a network server because the application was on a desktop not a network server. Here's how to do it: Press Win + R to open the Run command. Note the Distiller application was running on a local system and only used networked folders for input files and saving output files. One can even designate multiple folders as "Watched" folders with no problems.Īt one time I even had multiple desktops systems all pointing the same Watched folder into which I transferred over 1,500 PS files and each desktop processed the next free PS file in turn. I have folders on a network drive and feed files from my desktop and remote desktop at the same time and Distiller just chugs away. If one has Distiller set up, only the log files for failed conversions will be kept. We have seen it in action and found it pretty disappointing compared to its most direct competitor, a Kinect-enhanced Xbox. Save the macro and the form, then click that sucker and see it work Of course, you can use this same method to open any document from any valid application, even text files in Notepad. I noticed that you had two slashes between Reader and AcroRd32. In my test form, here is my command line argument for the runapp action: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe c:\clc-drive.pdf.
Pay special attention and make sure you are using the correct syntax.
Watched folders once set up let one copy any PS file into the "In" sub folder of the "Watched" folder and Distiller when running, will detect the added file and process the PS file and move the resulting PDF to the "Watched" Out sub folder along with the log file and input PS file. 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\AcroRd32.exe' /t file.pdf 'my printer-name' no 'cmd /c' preceding it and I did not include the printer driver or port at the end of the command.
With Acrobat Professional one not only gets the Action wizard for Acrobat but a hot folder, Watched folders, for distiller.
