Adding files to DocuFreezer in different ways
Adding files to DocuFreezer using drag-and-drop
The easiest way to add files to DocuFreezer is by using drag-and-drop. First, select the files you want to convert. Then, click and hold the primary mouse button and move the files onto the white space of the DocuFreezer window (the List of Files area). Release the mouse button and the files will be automatically added to the conversion queue.
After the conversion, you will find the output files in the Output folder.
Importing files or folders using the Add files or Add folder button
To add one or more files, click the Add files button and browse for the files you want to convert. You can also add RAR, ZIP, 7ZIP, and other types of archives; the program will convert the files within the added archive(s).
To add an entire folder with files, click the Browse for folder button. You can also specify only certain file formats by changing the *.* macro (e.g., *.doc,*.docx) next to File types to add or use a Custom filter to apply a file mask.
Adding folders and RAR, ZIP, or 7ZIP archives to the List of Files
Adding entire folders or archives (RAR, ZIP, etc.) is just as simple as adding regular folders or individual files. You can use drag-and-drop or the Add files / Add folder button to do so.
Adding files directly from Microsoft Outlook
To convert email message files to PDF or other formats, you need to add them to DocuFreezer first. You can import email files by dragging and dropping them onto the DocuFreezer main window, just like any other files. If you try adding emails directly from Outlook, they get automatically imported to the List of Files.
