Publisher's Description
From Gold-Software:
Advanced Batch Converter does exactly what its title suggests, allowing you to easily convert multiple graphics files at the click of a button. You also can view, print, capture, acquire, and edit images (resize, rotate, flip, mirror, and crop, and use filters, morphing effects, watermarks, and color enhancements). The program supports about 90 file formats, including BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, PSD, TGA, PCX, RLA, RPF, RLE, DIB, WBMP, PSP, TARGA, JFIF, WIN, JFI, WMF, EMF, EPS, PDF, PS, AVI, CUR, ICO, PPM, PGM, PBM, PCD, FAX, VDA, GIF, AFI, J2K, JPC, PIC, JPEG 2000, DIB, CUT, G3F, G3N, EXIF, IPTC, VST, WBMP, IRI, IRIS, RGB, WBM, and WAP. In addition to the ability to batch-convert, you can carry out single conversions. The program also includes full support for carrying out conversions (batch or otherwise) through the use of command-line input.
Version 3.9.74 adds new formats and multipage TIFF support and fixes a critical command line.

"Worked as advertised - (after reading the directions)"
Version: Advanced Batch Converter 7.1
Pros
Ability to manipulate a massive amount of filenames with very little effort - allows you to quickly clean up large volumes of files for logical sorting without having to edit individually.
Cons
None really - just have to read a few directions (I'm not a reader or a good direction follower)
Summary
Worked as advertised - after reading the directions, getting some pointers from the user forum, I was converting batches of files with ease.

Pros
Uh,none for now
Cons
Won't do .cbr to .pdf
Full version overpriced
Hate watermarks unless they're mine,and I don't have anySummary
I did a search for ".cbr to .pdf converter",then sorted according to highest editor rating.Editors description says it does over 300 file formats,and it came up in search,so should work right?No.Didn't know I would have to read every format to see it won't do it.Gave error for format,and closed.Very sloppy for it to come up in search.Sure wouldn't pay full price for this.Going elsewhere

"Gonna brand my convert images during trial?"
Version: Advanced Batch Converter 4.89
Pros
I was looking forward to a fast batch converter...
Cons
Too bad the trial version brands my converted images. I need this kind of software but I will go elsewhere
Summary
Don't bother

"Good product, but too expensive for what it does"
Version: Advanced Batch Converter 4.0.19
Pros
Fast conversions, doesn't stretch of shrink out of proportion, supports a lot of formats
Cons
$60 for a format converter?
Summary
I have to convert thousands of graphic files to various other formats. Unfortunately, running an Adobe Photoshop script takes more than an hour to convert 1,000 images to .jpg format. Advanced Batch Converter did the same thing in a fraction of the time.

"Don't download unless you want to pay full price."
Version: Advanced Batch Converter 4.0.19
Pros
It appears to work.
Cons
I grow so weary of companies that are ambiguous about their software pricing.
Summary
"simple interface, excellent usability, low cost and free trial period "
Low cost? I'd pay 20 bucks for this, not 60. There is no free trial period; they mark your images with their watermark. You get X free, you say? Who cares. I buy a lot of software from the web. FREE TRIAL only works if it's a real, fully-functioning trial. They'll get no cash from me. -
"It does what it says it does"
Version: Advanced Batch Converter 4.0.12
Pros
If you have a need to convert large numbers of image files from one format to another, this program will do the job quickly and without a fuss. It converts files to the most popular formats and will convert a single image, too.
My only question is, how often do you need to convert large numbers of images? The program is well worth the price if you oftren acquire many images that have to be converted from one format to another.
The program gives you 30 days in which to evaluate it, and you should know by then wther it is for you.

"Works very well"
Version: Advanced Batch Converter 3.9.76
Pros
If you do a lot of batch conversion, this program is for you. It's easy to use and is very fast. The trial version is limited to converting six files at a time. You can convert a single file, too.
ABC has other features, such as screen capture. I managed to convert pdf files to JPEGs, TXT and other formats.
I haven't tested all of the features, but batch conversion is the highlight.
Cons
No provision for converting HTML files to PDFs and vice versa. Not enough file conversion formats. Not flexible enough to be your only conversion program.

"bad customer service, problems with command line interface and GUI"
Version: Advanced Batch Converter 3.9.76
Pros
We purchased this software for its command line reference and after some trials and tribulations I was able to get it work, somewhat. It compressed our tif files nicely (I was using g4 compression, whiteiszero, grayscale) but it worked only on single page documents in the command line (see rants below). The Gui was nicely layed out and I suspect it works well on many other formats. The negative column though will make these pro's seem trivial.
Cons
The cmd line provides no means of overwriting the same file or doing recursive directories that the gui supports. In the end I was forced to use dos to augment this program's cmd line.
When running the gui I was trying to compress 200k files and found that it would only support 10k files before continuously throwing out of memory errors. The problem was that the program didn't wait for memory to free up before proceeding but rather it just failed over the next 100 files very quickly before recovering. The files that didn't get converted are now mixed with the ones that did. The pc had to be reset to fix the memory errors.
My command line that I was running was abc.exe (file) /grayscale /tiff=(4,0) /Convert=(File) and that was it. (I tried adding the dpi switch and failed miserably making all images unreadable.) Mymultipage tif's had all pages after the first page removed. The gui has a means of providing multipage support but not the command line. The result of that is that now I am restoring my original files (in my test environment I failed to notice that multipage's were incorrect after cmd line running when I specifically tested multipage support in the gui sucessfully...my fault there, yes, but the lost time is worth mentioning here.
The support was the worst part of this ordeal though. I sent in an email request (preferred method according to the site as I hadn't purchased the higher levels of support) and waited the normal 48 hours turaround. What I was looking for was an answer to the memory errors, the dpi resolution that didn't work in the cmd line and to see if maybe their was a cmd line reference I could use to find such missing cmds the gui offered, such as directory recursion and file overwrite options and to see if I missed something. On day three I contacted the mfr and left a vm. (The support # goes straight to vm btw, no live support) It's been two weeks now and I haven't received a response to either method despite them now having my phone # and email to reach me.
buyer beware...
