TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Subject:RE: Converting 1000s of files to PDF From:Pierre Roberge <proberge -at- famictech -dot- com> To:"'techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com'" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 21 Oct 1999 16:06:14 -0400
What an interesting job ;-)
When I have a boring and repetitive job to do I use Rational Visual test to
automate it. It is a software that allows you to create macros that work
across any almost applications.
That won't make the process any faster but at least it can be automated.
