Many files at once

Run one job on many PDFs at once

How to do it

Watermark, number, compress or convert a whole folder of PDFs with the same settings.

Open the Tools menu and choose Batch.
Pick the files, or a folder (with its subfolders if you like).
Add the jobs in order, for example Watermark, Header & Footer, Bates numbering, Compress, Rotate or Export as images, and set each one up.
Choose where the results go: copies in a folder, which never replace a file, or the originals, after one confirmation that names them.
Click Preview to check the plan and the first file, then Run.

The Batch window with three files, Watermark, Bates numbering and Compress added, and the Preview of the plan

Good to know

Settings you saved as a preset in Watermark, Header & Footer or Bates Numbering show up in Batch, so what you tested on one file goes to all of them.
Batch can also make scans searchable and add or remove passwords.
You can keep working while it runs, and Cancel at any time. A log names every file and what happened to it.
