(The droplet icon ( ) will appear in the selected location.) 3 Select the desired set and action from the Set and Action menus. 4 Set Play options for the droplet: • Select Override Action "Open" Commands if you want Open commands in the action to refer to the batched files, rather than the filenames specified in the action. Deselect Override Action "Open" Commands if the action was recorded to operate on open files or if the action contains Open commands for specific files that are required by the action. • Select Include All Subdirectories to process files in subdirectories. • Select Suppress Color Profile Warnings to turn off display of color policy messages. 5 Select a destination for the processed files from the Destination menu: • None to leave the files open without saving changes (unless the action included a Save command). • Save and Close to save the files in their current location. • Folder to save the processed files to another location. Click Choose to specify the destination folder. Select Override Action "Save In" Commands if you want Save As commands in the action to refer to the batched files, rather than the filenames and locations specified in the action. Deselect Override Action "Save In" Commands if the action contains Save As commands for specific files that are required by the action. 6 If you chose Folder as the destination, specify a file-naming convention and select file compatibility options for the processed files: • For File Naming, select elements from the pop-up menus or enter text into the fields to be combined into the default names for all files. Elements include document name, serial number or letter, file creation date, and file extension. • For File Name Compatibility, choose Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX to make filenames compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX operating systems. 7 Select an option for error processing from the Errors pop-up menu: • Stop for Errors to suspend the process until you confirm the error message. • Log Errors to File to record each error in a file without stopping the process. If errors are logged to a file, a message appears after processing. To review the error file, click Save As and name the error file.
