An Enfocus PitStop Server hot folder is actually a collection of dedicated folders for automated PDF processing. You create these folders on the hard disk of your computer or on a network drive. Enfocus PitStop Server automatically processes PDF documents that arrive in a given input folder of this hot folder and places them in the output folder which you have specified. The original PDF document and a process report can be placed in the same or a different folder, depending on whether processing was successful or not.
The hot folder’s input folder is an active folder: Enfocus PitStop Server will monitor the input folder of a hot folder at regular intervals and will, upon arrival of a PDF document in this input folder, start the appropriate automatic action.
Hot folders are interlinked folders. You use the Hot Folder Editor to create the links between the folders of a hot folder: You specify the path the PDF documents have to follow as they are processed.
