Short answer
DataSnipper has no hard limit on the number of files you can export at once.
You can use the Export button to export:
- The current PDF, or
- All imported PDFs to a folder of your choice
Why exports may fail at high volumes (200–500 files)
If a user can export in batches (e.g., 20–30 files) but struggles with 200–500 files, especially with Snips, markups, and comments included, this is typically a hardware/memory constraint, not a DataSnipper restriction. Large export jobs can exceed available memory capacity.
Recommended best practices before exporting large batches
Reduce workbook + document load first:
- Compress imported documents (via DataSnipper’s document management options)
- Temporarily switch off “Include PDFs in Excel” to reduce workbook size
Check system requirements:
- Use 64-bit Office (more memory headroom than 32-bit)
- For large document sets, 16GB+ RAM is recommended
Export method to use
- Go to Export
- Select the documents you need
- Enable “Export with Snips and Comments” (if required)
If it still fails
If the issue persists after the steps above, exporting in smaller batches (20–30 files) may remain the most reliable approach for that volume, particularly when exporting with Snips/comments.
