Batch PDF Creation ....

[Jim Harold]

Good Morning ....

Has anyone experience in the batch production of PDF documents using non-Adobe products?  Most of the documents we are processing now are in MS Word, but we have many other formats as well.  The creation of PDF versions from word processing files one-by-one is just not fast enough in our environment.

The batch process available through Acrobat Distiller is not relevant since you need to have a postscript version of the document first, which is of no use to us and just adds another step the process.

We are currently looking at software from Addendum.  Has anyone experience with 'Watch-Plus', 'Batch-Print', or the free MS Word template 'SearchPrint'?  Addendum information is at:

Thanks for your help and advice.
