How does Batch processing work on MakeOverPDF?

Run the file-producing tools across many documents and collect the results. MakeOverPDF runs any tool, queued on the server and returns: A status page holding one download per file.

Is Batch processing free and private to use?

Yes. MakeOverPDF requires no user account, watermarks nothing unless you use the watermark tool, and deletes your uploaded document from the private working directory as soon as the request finishes.

What are the file size and page limits for Batch processing?

The batch offers the tools whose whole answer is one file: compress, repair, flatten, optimise images, remove metadata, PDF to text, PDF to Word, PDF to spreadsheet, OCR text extraction and PDF to searchable PDF. Tools that need an answer about a particular document — a page range, a password, a crop rectangle — keep their own pages, because one answer cannot be honest across a folder of documents. Options are each tool's defaults. The checkboxes on a tool's own page (keep the layout, the spreadsheet format) are not asked here; for anything particular, run that tool directly. Up to 20 files, adding up to 100 MiB — the same ceilings every multi-file tool uses, refused before submission with the numbers that caused it. A batch small enough to finish inside the request is finished before the response is sent, so its status page already shows results. A batch over that threshold waits in this server's queue for the worker (php spark makeoverpdf:worker) to drain it, and the page says exactly that while it waits — it never claims work is done that is not. One file failing does not stop the others: the status page shows each file's outcome, and a failure carries the words written for you at the time — never engine output. Your upload is deleted the moment its result exists. A finished result stays on the status page for the retention window (60 minutes by default), then everything the job recorded is deleted with it. No tool that needs a password is offered: a password would have to be written into the queue's database row, which is exactly where a secret should not sit. A password-protected file fails its job with that explanation instead of waiting in the queue.
