To create a new task, click the New button on the toolbar. The ABBYY Hot Folder Wizard will
guide you through setting up a hot folder.
Note:
By default, task files are stored in %Userprofile%\Local Settings\Application
Data\ABBYY\HotFolder\11.00.
(In Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows 7 in
%Userprofile%\AppData\Local\ABBYY\HotFolder\11.00).
The results will be saved to the folder you specified when setting up the task. In some cases, to
prevent the loss of already processed files, the program will create a subfolder in the specified folder
and save the subsequent recognition results to this subfolder. The subfolder will be named as
follows:
1. "Hot Folder DD.MM.YYYY HHMMSS"
A subfolder with this name is created when you rerun a task.
2. "File name(NUMBER)"
A subfolder with this name is created if a file with a particular name already exists in the
folder you specified.
Depending on your version of the product, the number of pages that you can recognize within 30
days may be limited to 5,000.
To see messages notifying you that tasks have been completed, click
on the toolbar.
A notification message will be displayed in a popup window above the Windows taskbar.
The ABBYY Hot Folder main window displays a list of setup tasks. For each task, the full path to
the corresponding hot folder is displayed, together with its current status and the scheduled
processing time.
Tasks may have the following statuses:
