Working With the Job Profiles Editor

You can create, edit, delete, and copy job profiles using the Job Profiles Editor. As well, you can view a summary of each profile, and select the profile to use as the default for new jobs.

You can also use the Job Profiles Editor to select the profiles you want to display in the Convert To context menu (the menu that appears when you right-click on a folder or supported file type in the Windows Explorer shell). Using this context menu, you can run a conversion job on selected files or folders directly from Windows Explorer.

Note that File Conversion Center comes with several built-in job profiles geared to tasks such as archiving and faxing; these profiles can be used as a starting point for creating your own, new profiles, or edited and saved as desired. You can view information about these built-in profiles by selecting them from the Job Profiles list, and clicking Summary.
