Set the "Convert Files From" location to the folder containing the ODT files to convert, and set the "Save To" folder to the location for the converted searchable PDF files. These locations must be different.
The "Save Type" setting controls how the source files are converted.

If the "Save Type" is set to one of the merged file types, the "Merged File Name" setting specifies the file name for the merged file.

If one of the merged file options is also set, each subfolder will contain a merged file containing all files converted in the subfolder.
Click the "Convert" button to start the conversion process. Depending on the number of files in the "Convert Files From" folder, it can take a long time to convert all files. The "Cancel" button remains active during the conversion process, and allows you to cancel the batch convert.
