I finally upgraded to PP7 from 6 and was wondering if there is a way to batch convert forms from prior versions up to PP7. I noticed that when I go to edit my .pp6 design files, I can only save them out to .pp7, so I'd like to get them all converted to .pp7 at once without having to open 90+ files if I can avoid it.

Ian,

There is no batch conversion from pp6 to pp7. However, there is a way to send a batch of files to Watch. In version 7, you can use Red Button->Batch send to, and send a group of files together to Watch at the same time.

Besides, until you modify them, there is nothing wrong into leaving the files as .pp6 files.

Regards,
Rapha

I was curious about it since I do occasionally have to make minor updates to the forms, and with Design 7 only letting me save out to PP7 files, I didn't want to end up with slightly different v6 forms mixed into the v7 ones as well

I would want to convert them individually and, before using them live, I would want to test them thoroughly to ensure that they function as expected.
