Change the temporary folder of PDF24 to another drive

[serialgamer07]

So, I'm trying to compress 6 Go of file, but, I only have 1 go of space left on my main Disc (I have another disc with WAY more space left). Is there a way to actually change the temporary file Folder? I searched in the PDF24 settings, and I didnt found it.

An old question but one that will recur, I would permanently replace the temporary folder PDF24 with a symbolic directory to a folder of the same name elsewhere (such as a RAM drive in my case) using the mklink command from a command prompt.

Hello,

there is no setting in PDF24 for this. PDF24 uses the temporary folder that Windows provides for your user account (set by the Windows environment variables TMP and TEMP) and creates the subfolder PDF24 in it. If you set TMP and TEMP of your user account to a folder on the other drive, PDF24 uses that folder as well. Please note that all other programs then use this folder too, and sign out and in again so that the PDF24 programs pick up the change.

A PDF24 setting for its own temporary folder is on our to-do list.
