Manage the conversion queue

Distiller lets you queue PostScript files that you create in authoring applications and then monitor them throughout the PDF conversion process.

In Distiller, select an Adobe PDF settings file from the Default Settings pop-up menu.
(Optional) Choose Settings > Security and select an encryption level.
Open the PostScript file and start the conversion process, using either method:
- Choose File > Open, select a PostScript file, and click Open.
- Drag one or more PostScript files from the desktop to the Acrobat Distiller window.

Click Pause before doing step 3 if you want to review the queue before Distiller starts converting the files.

Do any of the following:

To temporarily stop processing the current job, click Pause. Or (Windows only), right-click the job queue and choose Pause.
To resume processing the current job, click Resume. Or (Windows only), right-click the job queue and choose Resume.
To delete files from the queue, click Cancel Job. Cancel Jobs deletes all files from the queue that are not yet successfully completed. Or (Windows only), select and right-click individual files in the job queue and choose Cancel Job(s) to delete only those files.
(Windows only) To open the folder where the selected files are, right-click the job queue and choose Explore.
(Windows only) To open the selected PDF in Acrobat, a browser, or Reader, right-click the job queue and choose View. Or, double-click the PDF to open it in Acrobat.

Right-click the job queue, and choose Save List.

Distiller saves and opens the history as a PDF.

Remove all paused and successfully converted files from the list:
