6. Create a Watched Folder

A Watched Folder is a collection of folders dedicated to automating your PDF workflow. The folder that you have chosen to watch is the Base Folder (also known as the Input Folder) and it contains sub-folders which are created automatically as required when processing your files.

The base Watched Folder is actively monitored for new files. Once a file has been processed it is saved to the Output Folder and the original copy of the file is moved to the Processed Folder.

Watched Folders are designed to run silently in the background independent of the main Maximus application.

To create a Watched Folder follow these steps:

1. Click on the Watched Folders tab in Maximus
2. Click on the Create Watched Folder button
3. In the Settings section select an Action List from the drop down menu
4. Choose a Base Folder by clicking on the (…) browse button and selecting a folder on your hard drive. This Base Folder serves as the Input Folder for Watched Folders
5. Output, Error, Busy and Processed folders will automatically be created in the Base Folder when required. If you want to specify different locations for these folders you can do that by clicking on the Advanced button and changing the paths for those special folders
6. In the Options section you can add a Prefix or Suffix to the output filenames of PDFs processed via the Watched Folders. You can also choose to overwriting existing files or not
7. Click on the OK button to add your new Watched Folder. The Base Folder path should be added to the Watched Folders list and also to the Watched Folder Agent
