Just started a new job and trying to figure out what the previous person was doing but having a hard time figuring it out.

Below is a set of directions she left on how to do what I am supposed to do, but for the life of my I just can not comprehend it. Will someone please help?

-Create a new folder within the CD folder, and name it fscommand
For EACH pdf file:
download/copy the file proxy.exe
rename this file to match the pdf file
ex. cover.pdf
save as: cover.exe
in notepad type:
start cover.pdf

save as cover.bat

PLACE ALL 3 FILES in the fscommand folder
cover.pdf
cover.exe
cover.bat

repeat for every pdf

I understand it quite well. In fact, it's about as simple as it gets. Basically you should have a whole lot of pdfs, right? Take your proxy exe file and duplicate it to have as many copies as you have pdfs. Then just rename your exe files to have the same name, but a different file extension, as the pdfs.

Then create a bat file as instructed and you are done. ;)

So you work with renaming files? :D
If I where you I'd write a program that automate the process. Easy, Creds from the company + more free time ;)

It actually all depends on how many files you have, if you have only 10 files, just write a keyboard macro.
