Instruction
Create a new flow that supports file folders with multiple input files in subfolders. Sort the
input files by file type; PDFs should be sent to one folder (PDF); all other files should
be sent to another folder (Other Files). Then collect all files again in one folder and
make sure the original folder gets restored. Use a sample job to check how the job folders are
ungrouped.
Note: Ungrouping and reassembling folders helps you to save time, because you don't need to
extract the files manually. This is useful if a folder hierarchy contains different file types
that each require specific processing. For example, if you want to convert all images in an
InDesign package to CMYK, you can sort out the images, process them using Photoshop (with the
Photoshop configurator), and finally restore the original package, without any manual
intervention.
