| • | New Type — This is the most basic option, requiring only that a new output type be set in the Type field of the Save Options group box. You can also choose to run a script with this option. This option reads in the file, runs the script (if defined) against the file, saves the file to its new location and/or name, and converts it to the new file format. |
| • | Copy — This option requires that a script be defined in the Script group box. This option reads in the file, runs the script against the file, and saves the file to a new location and/or name. With this option selected, the Type field and Options button of the Save Options group box are disabled. |
| • | Overwrite — This option requires that a script be defined in the Script group box. This option reads in the file, runs the script against the file, and saves the file to its original location (the original file is overwritten). With this option selected, all Save Options group box settings are disabled. |
| 5 | Click Options to open the Save Options dialog box. |
| Note: Not all file formats have associated options. If the file format you choose does not have any options, the Options button is unavailable. |
