on the requirements of your project (see the sidebar “Everything in
Its Place”).
8. Choose an option from the “Select output location” pop-up menu

select the folder.

following:
•
Append characters to the original lenames and specify whether
or not to overwrite the original les.
•
Choose an output format from the menu, such as Web pages,
Word documents, text, and so on.
•
Select Fast Web View to minimize le size.
•
Run PDF Optimizer options (read about the PDF Optimizer in #33,
“Optimizing a PDF Document”).
•
Export the processed les in one of the Acrobat export formats
(learn more about exporting in #34, “Exporting PDF Documents
in Other Formats”).
But What About …?
In the Edit Sequence dialog,
if you choose a specific
folder on which to run the
commands, a Source File
Options button appears.
Click the button to open a
list of file formats—any type
of file you can convert to PDF
can be included.
Everything in Its Place
If you are building a
sequence for a specific
project and have stored the
files in one folder location,
choose that option. If you
have files in several folders,
choose Selected Files. The
option you choose deter-
mines the other selections
that are available. For exam-
ple, if you choose Files Open
in Acrobat, the rest of the
dialog is dimmed.
