Question on exporting from the client

A remote user is planning to work on a project exporting a large number of files using the desktop client. If they choose say, 3000 files to export, does the server start converting all of those to PDF at that moment or does it iterate through them one at a time as each file downloaded finishes?

When I export a group of documents, the progress dialog indicates a single current document being converted. Furthermore, if I cancel, the documents that have already been successfully converted remain in the location I exported to. As a note, if you drag the documents out to the desktop, you will not see them appear on the desktop until after the process is completed/cancelled; they will, however, appear in the windows folder browser as each document completes.

Also if I had to guess the server would not do the conversion it would happen the workstation level.

This is true.

Right, basically you'll get each entry processed by the Client one by one. The Server would only be impacted by the Client requesting the documents in the first place (which would also be one by one) - it wouldn't handle the conversation itself. So I wouldn't really expect much Server load impact here.

I'm fairly certain the export and conversion process occurs on an individual document basis, if you do an export of say 30 to test it out, you should see them start to appear in order, not all post completion.
