I’d never needed to batch enough files to PDF at one time that I bothered to look up how to do it until today, luckily this page explains how to batch files to PDF using Adobe Acrobat Professional.

We’ve got a lot going on in addition to normal work-overload. New stuff includes:
Logan is testing a new backup with Open Systems, and this will be up and running soon and in test for up to two weeks. This is a campus tivoli-server solution which would charge for the amount of data transferred in and [...]
