Converting Multiple Images to Another File Format

You can convert multiple images to any supported file format. You can set the options for each format individually, specify how to handle multiple-page images, and apply the conversion defaults automatically.

To Convert Images to Another File Format:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • In Manage mode, select one or more images, and click Tools | Batch | Convert File Format | Convert...
    • In View mode, click Tools | Modify | Convert File Format | Convert...
    • In Manage mode, select one or more images, and click Batch | Convert File Format | Convert...
    • In Manage or View mode, select one or more images and press Ctrl + Alt + F.
  2. In the Convert File Format dialog, select a new format for your image or images from the Output File Format drop-down list. To configure format-specific options, select the file format and then press the Settings button.
  3. In the Output Location section, identify where you want to place the converted images.
  4. In the File Options section, specify how you want the tool to handle any file name conflicts by selecting one of the following options from the Overwrite existing files drop-down list:
    • Ask: prompts you when overwriting a file.
    • Skip: cancels the operation if there is a file with the same file name and extension.
    • Replace: overwrites the file without prompting for confirmation.
    • Rename: prompts you to rename the file.
  5. To configure vector settings and how you want to handle any multi-page images, press the Advanced Settings button. If you did not select any multi-page images to convert, and did not specify a multiple-page image format as your output file format, you can skip the options in the Multi-Page Source section.
  6. Click Convert.

You can save your settings as a preset for future use. After configuring the Convert File Format dialog settings, press the Save icon next to the Preset field. You will be prompted to enter a name for your preset. It is recommended that you give your preset an intuitive name. Saved presets will be listed in the Convert File Format fly-out menu.

You can give your saved presets custom shortcuts for quick conversions. In the Customize Shortcuts dialog, you can find your presets under the Preset - Convert File Format category.
