Distiller can monitor up to watched folders. A watched folder can have its own Adobe PDF settings and security settings that apply to all files processed from that folder.

Security settings for a watched folder take priority over the security settings for Distiller. For example, Distiller does not convert a PostScript file in a watched folder if the file is marked with read-only permission.

Windows Settings and preferences are unique to each user. On an NTFS, only files created by respective users are read- and write-accessible. Settings files created by other users are read-only. To share a watched folder with other users, the creator of the folder must set the appropriate permissions for the In and Out folders.

Sharing enables other users to copy files to the In folder and get files from the Out folder. The creator must be logged into the system and have Distiller running. The other users must log in remotely to open the live watched folder and have their files processed.

To define security options for a folder, select the folder and click Edit Security. Click OK to return to the Watched Folders dialog box.
