Configurator

Beginning with FullSWITCH a built-in configurator is available that supports Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 and 8. The configurator allows you to select the Distiller Settings from within SWITCH. It also makes setting up hotfolders in Acrobat Distiller unnecessary. The configurator can be used only if SWITCH is installed on the same computer as Acrobat Distiller; in other situations the hotfolder technique must be used.

Hotfolders

Acrobat Distiller supports setting up watched folders from the "Settings > Watched Folders..." menu item. When you have setup the watched folders in Acrobat Distiller, drag those folders into your SWITCH flow.
