Export to Batch PDF

You can export multiple documents or an entire engagement file to a Batch PDF. Batch PDFs do not have the same usability restrictions as Working Papers files and are accessible outside of the application. This allows you to send file data to an external reviewer who does not have a Working Papers license themselves.

To save documents or the file as a Batch PDF:

1. On the ribbon, click Engagement | Save As | Save as PDF File..., or Engagement | Export | Batch PDF.... The PDF Export dialog displays.
2. Next to the Export set option, click New. Enter a name for the new export set. Click OK.

3. In the Select document(s) list, select the documents that you want to include in the Batch PDF, then click Add to insert them. If required, you can reorder the inserted documents by dragging them in the PDF documents list.

   Note: Use the Filter by drop-down menu to locate specific documents.

4. Next to PDF documents, click Properties. Complete the PDF settings as required.
