KitBatch

• Does KitBatch have ads or call home?
  • No. KitBatch never sends any data anywhere. Everything you do with KitBatch is limited to your local machine for complete security and privacy.
• Are encrypted and/or password protected PDF files supported?
  • Yes they are. When you try to add an encrypted and/or password protected PDF, you will be prompted to enter the unlock password. Once you have entered the correct password, the file will be added.
  •  
  • While other apps write an unlocked version of the file to a temporary directory, we felt that was a big security risk for our users. Instead, we came up with a way that does not write anything to your file system and allows you to unlock the PDF and get to converting.
• What happens if my PDF has annotations and/or comments?
  • When you add a file, KitBatch will automatically detect whether any annotations exists on any page. If annotations exist, you will have an additional option in the Save Options section of the property panel, allowing you to include or remove the annotations in your output.
• Can KitBatch detect transparency?
  • Yes, as long as the original PDF contains transparency, KitBatch will detect it and provide options to either maintain the transparency or fill with a solid color.
• Are there any limitations to the PDF I can convert?
  • None that we have found thus far. Obviously the larger the PDF file size, the more RAM you will need to process the file, but otherwise, any PDF should work.
• What image types are supported?
  • You are able to select from the following image types:
  •  
  • BMP
  • GIF
  • JPG
  • JP2000
  • PNG
  • TIFF
• How can I customize the output image filenames and numbering formats?
  • You can set whatever filename you wish in the settings panel, and there are additional options for filename format and numbering, including the option to combine multiple files into sequentially numbered groups.
• I don't understand sequential numbering. How does it work?
  • As long as multiple files have the same output name, image type, and save directory, you will see a new option appear that asks if you would like the documents to be sequentially numbered.
  •  
  • This means that if your first document has two pages, your second document has 3 pages, and your third document has two pages, KitBatch will output images numbered from page 1 through page 7.
• How do I select specific page ranges to convert rather than the full PDF?
  • In the Page Range section of the settings you can choose to output all pages, a single page, or a page range.
• Can I convert multiple PDFs in one batch with different output settings for each?
  • Doing so is the entire point of KitBatch. Drag in your files, set your settings, and click start. So easy!
• Can I save the converted images into a different folder than the original PDFs?
  • Absolutely. In fact, you can set individual setting for each PDF file and output the images wherever you wish, even network shares.
• How fast is the PDF to image conversion compared to other apps?
  • In our testing it is the fastest conversion we have ever experienced. To accomplish this, we utilize multiple CPU cores and have streamlined the code to make everything lightning fast.
• Is the app compatible with both Intel and Apple silicon Macs?
  • Yes. As long as your system meets the minimum system requirements, you are all set.
• Does KitBatch change my original PDF?
  • No. Your original PDF file is used as a reference and is never modified in any way.
• What languages are available?
  • We have worked really hard to make KitBatch available in tons of different langauges for users around the world, and the language is automatically detected based on your system language.

• Do you make a free version?
  • No, we do not offer a free version. A lot of time and effort went in to making KitBatch and while we were not interesting in charging per converting page like some other software, we think we have priced it more than fairly for everyone to enjoy.
