Add the For all documents command and End for all documents to your script to indicate a block of commands to operate on all selected files.
If a block is not specified using For all documents and End for all documents, the scripted commands run only once, even if multiple documents are selected. For example, if a user selects 10 files and activates a Dispatch action script, use a block to group the files and process them with a single follow-up dialog box instead of 10 separate dialog boxes.
The following example shows a series of commands in a Dispatch script. Because it is included in a For all documents block, the Copy command operates on all selected files.
