Batch processing with Distiller

You do not need to use the Distiller API to integrate Distiller with your product. Distiller has the ability to watch directories over a network and to convert any PostScript files saved to those directories to PDF. It is also possible to set different job options for each directory so that one directory can be used, for example, for high-end color output, while the other can generate a more compressed file suitable for web use. These features of Distiller are not supported by Acrobat Developer Support. Check the help documentation packaged with the product or books by Adobe Press and other publishers for using Distiller through the user interface.

The Distiller API can be used to programmatically process files and set the output path and file names. For more information, see the Acrobat Distiller API Reference. The Acrobat Professional DC product can also be used to set up watched folders.
