DocuFreezer Settings

Default: 5 minutes

Set a time limit on processing a single file. After this time is over, DocuFreezer will proceed to another file.

Default: 512 MB

Set limit on random-access memory allocated for DocuFreezer. If the amount of memory leaks exceeds a certain limit, the program engine restarts automatically. This lets DocuFreezer process any number of files per session without interruption.

Default: 4096 jobs

Automatically restart the program engine after a certain number of jobs.

Default: Yes

Allow custom scripts if you have a custom version of DocuFreezer.

Default: Yes

The DocuFreezer main window displays the status of each file being processed. Turning this setting off may improve the performance when processing small files, but progress bar indicators will not be displayed.

Default: GDIPlus

Select between GPIPlus or Graphic Processor. Please don't change this setting unless it was advised by our customer service.

Default: Acrobat

Disable specific components that are used by the program to process certain types of files. Please do not change this parameter unless it was advised by our customer service.

Default: No

Enable this setting to be able to open and edit the source files when they are being converted by DocuFreezer.

Default: %TEMP%

Change the folder where temporary files created by DocuFreezer are located. By default, it is C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Temp.

Default: none

Enter the password for the source file(s) to batch convert password-protected documents. If you have more than one file secured with passwords, input several passwords, each on a separate line.

Default: Yes

Keep the same subfolder structure as in the input folder (if a folder is set as a source). This setting works only if you use the Add folder button to add files.

Default: Disabled

Allow subfolder recursion – the program will take files from subdirectories and convert files from them too. Check the box next to Include files in subfolders to enable this feature and (optionally) enter paths to folders that should be ignored. This setting works only if you use the Add folder button to add files.

Default: Create new file

Define what DocuFreezer should do if the output folder already has a file with the same filename: Create new file, Overwrite, Skip.

Default: none

Enter a password to password-protect converted files. Password protection will apply to all successfully processed files from the current List of files.

Default: Yes

Define what DocuFreezer should do if it encounters an error (for example, if a watermark file is missing). If changed to No, the program will not save files in the output folder in case of any error.

Default: {*SrcFilename}{*WorksheetName}{*SrcFileMPageNo}.{*DstFileExt}

Modify the output file name template using macros or arbitrary text.

• {*SrcFilename} – source file name;
• {*WorksheetName} – worksheet file name (for Excel or CAD files);
• {*SrcFileMPageNo} – source file page number;
• {*DstFileExt} – destination file extension.

Default: No

Save the source files' properties and apply them to the converted files: last write (last modified) time and date.

Default: ~$*.*, *.db, desktop.ini

Exclude certain types of files that are not wanted in the List of files. To rule out files with a specific file extension, add them in the dropdown list, each on a separate line (after ~$*.*, *.db, and desktop.ini). File extensions should be added this way: *.[file extension]

Default: none

Enter a single password to password-protect the output files. Password protection will apply to all files from the current List of files.

Default: 300 dpi

Set DPI (Dots Per Inch) which defines resolution and image quality. Resolution can be set in a range between 70 to 2028.

300 DPI is suitable for standard quality, e.g. text documents. 600 or higher is good for high-quality images or photos. Generally, we don't recommend setting it lower than 300 (the output file may have low quality) or higher than 1200 (processing may take much time).

Default: Yes

Use a rasterization algorithm with anti-aliasing. Anti-aliasing helps make edges of an image smoother (transition is more gradual), and visually reduces the stair-stepped pixels artifact.

Default: Separate

Set how DocuFreezer handles file with attachments, e.g. PDF Portfolio or Outlook message files:

Default: Name

Select how file attachments should be sorted in the output folder:

Default: *.*

Use an expression that allows converting only certain attachments by mask. For example, type *.pdf to convert PDF attachments only. Or enter attachment.* to convert only files containing the word "attachment" in the filename.

Default: none

Use an expression that restricts processing of certain attachments by mask. For example: *.docx

Default: All pages

Set page range – by selecting all pages or a specific page range. This setting duplicates the one in the Common Settings.

Default: No

This feature helps you avoid printing the same page more than once, for example, if you specified overlapping page ranges.

Default: No

Save metadata from the source files such as EXIF, IPTC, XMP and keep it in the output files.

Default: none

Enter a name of a specific convert engine advised by our customer service.

Default: English

Select the languages which should be used for OCR (Optical Character Recognition). For better results, select only those languages that are present in your source files.

Default: None

Default: None

Select an action to be performed with files that failed to convert for some reason:

Set the output folder location for converted files. The output folder can also be selected on the main window.

Note: you can save converted files to the source folder - the same folder they come from. To use this feature, insert {*SrcFileFolder} next to Output folder:

Default: PDF

Select the output file type. The format can also be selected on the main window.

Default: PDF, TEXT, JPEG, TIFF, PNG

Configure the list of all available output file formats. Please note: file conversion to formats that are not set as default (XPS, DOCX, GIF) may not work correctly.

Default: Yes

Enable adding the same file to the List of files in order to convert it several times. By default, only unique content is enabled, so change it to No if you want to add the same file more than once.
