ABBYY® FineReader PDF User’s Guide
ABBYY Hot Folder
(Not available in some versions of ABBYY FineReader. See also: http://www.ABBYY.com/FineReader)
ABBYY FineReader includes ABBYY Hot Folder, a scheduling agent that allows you to select a folder
with images that ABBYY FineReader should process automatically. You can schedule ABBYY
FineReader to process documents when you don’t use your computer, e.g. overnight.
To process images in a folder automatically, create a processing task for that folder and specify the
image opening, OCR, and saving options. You must also specify how often ABBYY FineReader should
check the folder for new images (at regular intervals or only once) and set the start time for the task.
For tasks to start, your computer must be turned on and you must be logged on.
