Question

The Hot Folder task has been created by the Local Administrator and when the Domain User logins on the workstation, the task does not display. How to create a task so that all the users can see it? 

Answer

In FineReader PDF 16 the Hot Folder tasks are stored locally in %Userprofile%\AppData\Local\ABBYY\FineReader\16\HotFolder folder.

There are 2 ways for the task to be visible to all the users:

Method 1:

1. Export the task created by the Local Administrator (copy the *.hft tasks’ files located in the folder %Userprofile%\AppData\Local\ABBYY\FineReader\16\HotFolder).
2. Login by the Domain User and import the task to the same folder.

Method 2:

Copy the *.hft tasks’ files located in the folder %Userprofile%\AppData\Local\ABBYY\FineReader\16\HotFolder under the Local Administrator and paste them to this folder under the Domain User.
