If you choose to copy the files you are converting, instead of converting or filtering them in place, which is a lot safer, the new files created will be structured like this.

 

Suppose you are processing d:\texts\2007\literature and copying to c:\temp

and suppose d:\texts\2007\literature contains this sort of thing:

 

d:\texts\2007\literature\shakespeare\hamlet.pdf

d:\texts\2007\literature\shakespeare\macbeth.pdf

...

d:\texts\2007\literature\shakespeare\poetry\sonnet1.pdf

d:\texts\2007\literature\shakespeare\poetry\sonnet2.pdf

...

d:\texts\2007\literature\french\victor hugo\miserables.pdf

d:\texts\2007\literature\french\poetry\baudelaire\le chat.pdf

...

 

you will get

 

c:\temp\shakespeare\hamlet.txt

c:\temp\shakespeare\macbeth.txt

...

c:\temp\shakespeare\poetry\sonnet1.txt

c:\temp\shakespeare\poetry\sonnet2.txt

...

c:\temp\french\victor hugo\miserables.txt

c:\temp\french\poetry\baudelaire\le chat.txt

...

 

In other words, for each file successfully converted or filtered, any same directory structure beyond the starting point (d:\texts\2007\literature in the example above) will get appended to the destination.
