To get more info on Batcher, simply download and decompress the software, then run the application by double-clicking the application icon.
Batcher will provide you with instructions on how to use it.
This project is ‘nagware’. The unregistered version is fully functional, but it needs the occasional Continue-button-click when it brings up a registration reminder. As a result it wont’t be able to do unattended processing of large batches of documents.
You’ll need to buy a license and register the software if you need to perform unattended processing of any number of documents. The cost for a single-user license is US$9.
