21.2.8 Perform a Batch Conversion and/or Installation
You can have PlanetPress Design perform one or more of the following in a single operation:
• Install each document on one or more printers.
• Install each document in one or more installations of a PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tool.
• Install each document in a PlanetPress Design iWatch installation.
• Convert each document and save it to a file, along with the PostScript code for installing the document
on the printer.
• Save the PTK version of each document to a file.
To perform a batch conversion and/or installation:
1. If necessary, for each document you intend to convert and/or install, verify that the Conversion options
and Resource options settings for that document are correct.
2. From the PlanetPress Design Button, choose Batch Send To.
3. In the Batch Send To wizard, click Select Documents and select the documents you want to convert
and/or install. All of the subsequent conversion and/or installation operations you define in the wizard
are performed on all of the documents you select here.
4. If you want to install the documents on one or more printers, click Select printers, and adjust the
settings.
5. If you want to install the documents in one or more PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tool installations, or if
you want to create the PTK file for each document and save it, click PlanetPress Suite Workflow, and
adjust the settings.
6. If you want to install the documents in a PlanetPress Design iWatch installation click PlanetPress
Design iWatch, and adjust the settings.
7. If you want to convert each document and save it to a file along with the PostScript code to install the
document on a printer, click Select printers and select Print to file.
Use the path box below the Print to file option to specify the folder in which you want PlanetPress Design
to save each converted document. You can enter a path to a folder in the path box, or click the Browse
button to the right of the path box to navigate to the folder and select it.
8. If you want to convert each document and save it to a file without the PostScript code to install the
document on a printer, click PlanetPress Design iWatch and select Print to file.
Use the path box below the Print to file option to specify the folder in which you want PlanetPress Design
to save each converted document.
9. Click Send. If you want to review any of the settings you have entered to date in the Batch Send To
wizard, use either the right-hand area of the wizard, or the buttons at the bottom of the wizard. When
you are ready to proceed with the batch conversion and/or installation, click Next.
PlanetPress Design performs the batch conversion and/or installation you defined in the wizard,
displaying status messages as it progresses through the operations.
10. If you want to perform another batch conversion and/or installation, repeat step 3 through step 9.
11. Click Finish in the right-hand area of the wizard to exit the wizard. Alternatively, click the Finish button
that replaces the Next button at the bottom of the wizard when PlanetPress Design completes a batch
conversion and/or installation.
The copy of PlanetPress Design launched to run the Batch Send To wizard exits and focus returns to the
PlanetPress Design from which you launched the wizard.
To select documents in the Batch Send To wizard:
1. If necessary, click Select Documents in the left hand pane of the Batch Send To wizard.
2. In the Folder hierarchy, navigate to the folder containing one or more of the documents you want to
include in the batch convert and/or install.
