save in default folder

Post by chicken »

Hello, I am a registered user (PRO). I often use the PDF-Xchange printer driver to change file properties. I have 2 questions:

1- is it possible to batch print using the PDF-Xchange printer driver?

2- I use the save option of the pinter driver to do things like change the file name and other properties ; my problem is that I would like to save the file with the new file name BY DEFAULT IN THE SAME FOLDER as the file being modified, instead of specifying the path of the folder where the new file should be saved. The reason is that I work with different pdf files in different folders and must each time redefine the path where the file should be saved which is time consuming.

In a nutshell, if I have a file called ivan.pdf and I configure the pdf xchange printer driver to create another file called ivan123.pdf with different properties (such as a different encryption level), I would like ivan123.pdf to be automatically saved in the SAME folder as ivan.pdf, avoiding the time of entering a different path every time I go thorough the process.

thanks very much for your time and help, jean

I'm afraid in most cases it is impossible - PDF-XChange printer - is a printer driver and applications don't provide location of original files during printing, do they?

Note: Printer driver tools name of printed document from printing task title provided by applications which in most cases (but not always) looks like: "application name - document name", or "document name - application name". And there are no other sources where information about printing document can be obtained.
