Batch processing is a very powerful enhancement and you can use this to streamline your work immensely in Acrobat Professional. And when you have a bunch of batch sequences set up, you can edit your batch sequences to suit your changing work needs. And to edit a batch sequence, all you do is open the batch sequences dialog box, select the sequence that you want to edit, and then click Edit Sequence. And see I have got several commands here on this sequence that we set up, I can add additional commands by clicking the select commands button rather, and then choose another option, for example make accessible. And I can edit by either double clicking it, and if I no longer need a command in my batch sequence, I can click Remove, and I can also use the commands up and down to change the order in which they are executed. And I can also edit a sequence, there are two ways I can do it, by clicking the Edit button, and by double clicking the little gear icon will also open up. And I can change my settings for this batch sequence, in this case I am going to leave them alone. One other thing I would like you to look at, to know about, is you can click this little triangle, and this will expand and this will show all of the options that are run with this particular command, and this would tell you whether or not you wanted to change them. And the same thing occurs with the open options that shows exactly page, leave as is, all the different options that I have chosen. Now you can’t individually edit one of these by clicking it, you have to click the actual top command to open the dialog box, if you just click one of these document titles to change it for example, there we are, open a full screen mode, and leave as this, if I click that nothing happens. But if I click the icon or choose edit, my dialog box opens, and I am able to make my changes. Another option that would be handy in a batch sequence would be the description command, and when I add it to the list then double click it, I can change my document summary. You probably want to leave the title as is and the subject as is, but if you are creating documents for an individual branch of an organization, and the branch name changed, or you have some people that actually put their name on as the author, you could change this and then put enter another value, for example Human Resources Department. And you could change all of your keywords in this batch sequence. And this information would be included on every document that you included in a batch sequence run with this sequence. And that is how you would edit your individual sequences, in Acrobat Professional.
