#18: Watching Folders via Distiller
Which Is More Secure?
Be aware of the settings
applied to a folder and the
settings used in Distiller. If you
specify security in Distiller’s
settings, the settings may or
may not be the same after the
file is processed. In fact, the file
may not be processed at all. If a
folder’s joboptions file is read-
only, Distiller won’t convert the
file. If Distiller’s settings include
security options and the
watched folder doesn’t, the file
is processed and the security
settings are in place.
When Files Go Missing
You can delete a folder from
the Watched Folders list by
clicking Delete in the Watched
Folders dialog. Deleting a
watched folder does not
delete the In and Out folders,
the contents, or the folder’s
joboptions files from your
computer; you’ll need to
remove them manually. If
you delete or move a folder
from your computer that you
have designated as a watched
folder in Distiller, the next time
you open the dialog, you’ll
get a Watched Folder Alert.
Click Open List to show the
Watched Folders dialog, where
you see the Missing Folder
icon to the left of the folder’s
name .
