Quick Start - Special Processing on Files

Special Processing on files allows you to manipulate file contents. For example you can:

• Append files

• Remove empty lines

• Do a search and replace of specific text, etc.

• Launch other applications from within Convert Doc

Follow these steps to use, append or remove empty lines:

1. In the Select Action to Do pane, select Special Processing on Files.
2. Select the Special Process you want to apply from the drop down list.
3. File Format: Select the form that the input file is saved in. The output file must also be saved in this format.
4. Select Input File(s)/Folders To Process: Browse to, or type in, the path to the file or folder you wish to process. You may specify wildcards (? or *) for multiple file processing.
5. Select Output File(s): Browse to, or type in, the location the file will be saved at. The format must match File Format in Step 1, e.g. an input doc file will result in an output doc file. You may specify Date/Time fields.
6. Click Add to add the task to the conversion task list.
   You can add multiple tasks to the conversion task list before initiating the conversion process by repeating Steps 1 - 5 as necessary.
7. Click Convert (or press  F5) to start the process.

Conversion jobs, consisting of one or more conversion tasks, may be saved, restored, and edited. Once saved, they may also be run from the command line and built-in scheduler. From the File menu, select Save to save a conversion job.
