File Format Select a file format option for files packaged with this transmittal setup. Files in the package can keep their existing file format, or they can all be converted to the same file format.

• Overwrite if necessary — Uses the same filename, and overwrites existing files of the same name, each time you create a package using this transmittal setup.

Path Options Select one of the following:

• Use organized folder structure. Source root Folder: this option replicates the folder hierarchy for the files being transmitted. The root folder serves as the top-level directory in the folder tree.
• Place all files in one folder — Saves all files in one folder when files are unpackaged.
