Converting Whole Folders of Files

To specify more than one file in a given conversion task be sure to use a wildcard character, the asterisk "*",  in the Input File(s) entry box.  You will need to specify the files properly by using the "C:\INPUTPATH\*.EXT" format, where EXT is the file extension of the input files (e.g. C:\Samples\*.PPT).

 

Once the asterisk has been typed into the Input File(s) entry box two additional options will appear:

Option

Purpose

Save to Input Folder

 The output file path will be the same as the input file path.

Do Subfolders

 Search and process all files found in the folder and subfolders specified in the Input File(s) entry box.

 

NOTE: Both the Do Subfolders and the Save to Input Folder check boxes will only visible when the Input File(s) entry box has the wildcard character (the asterisk "*") specified.

 

For example to convert all of the PPT files within the D:\MyFiles\ folder you would enter the following for the Input File(s):

D:\ MyFiles\*.PPT

 

When you specify multiple input files you must also specify multiple output files. 'Convert PowerPoint' does this for you automatically by filling in the Output Files(s) entry box.
