Adobe raw does it just load pics bottom left (save image)

It does. You use Organizer, though. File > Get Photos & Videos > From Files & Folders. Pick the dng files to be converted. Click Get Media. Ctrl+A to select all. File > Export as New Files. Select JPEG, size and quality specify destination. Then Export. You don't need to do it from ACR, which would involve opening the editor and saving each image. It's just a lot more cumbersome than doing it in LR or PS and Bridge

I am searching for a program that would allow me to convert .dng RAW files to JPG while keeping the original Metadata. Currently, I am using PS Elements to 'process' the RAW files and often have 50 or so pics I need to send out on JPG format. Some of the programs that I have tried tended to strip off the Metadata.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Since you've already got elements, why not use that?
File -> Process Multiple Files
Fill in the source and destination fields.
Check the drop-down menus for File Naming and see if you want to use those.
Image Size? I normally leave that alone.
Finally, the important one: File Type - again use the drop-down to choose the format you want.

Having said all that, I don't know if all the meta data will go with the conversion.

There are several other choices that can be made: Carefully look over the entire dialog box to make sure you have given it all the information it needs.
Also, if this is the first time you'll be using this feature, may I suggest you make copies of your files first and process these copies first so you can see what happens.

You may also want to click on the blue lettered link "Process Multiple Files" at the top of the dialog box.

That does the conversion, but there is no Mac version

Right. I'm surprised he never developed one.

Mac users should try Thorsten Lemke's Graphic Converter. $40 and great for batch conversions.

I downloaded the older free version On1 Effects a few months ago, and got on their email list. The new version of On1 Raw now includes On1 Effects and On1 Resize. Their launch special also includes several video tutorials from pros. Sale ends June 21, 2017 and is a great deal at $79. The email they sent me said owners of the older version On1 Effects are eligible for the upgrade price.

I've not used Elements but in Photoshop you can go to:
File>Scripts>Image Processor and you will find what you are looking for.

I'm glad someone finally mentioned the Photoshop Image Processor! The grandfather and still king of them all.

Smaller market, higher level of support needed to address it. From a developers point of view I can totally understand it.

Their pricing is all over the place - if you can get the full On1 Raw for $79, go for it. I like the software and I use it a lot.

Expand the budget. Long term solution is to stop messing around with half-baked solutions and do it right. If time is money, you'll realize the $10/month is more than worth it.

Absolutely!

Photoshop will do that, but you have to set it up for specifics toward handling metadata!

Corel Aftershot Pro 3 is a good alternative to Lightroom and costs under $50.

I'm using Photoshop CS5 (it works for what I need) but wanted something that will process RAW files once I get a new camera. I just bought ON1 Photo RAW 2017.5 yesterday, but haven't had time to try it yet. It will handle RAW or DNG, and offers batch processing. Sale is ending tomorrow!

There's a luanch special for the new version of ON1 Photo RAW is going on through June 21, 2017. It now includes ON1 Effects 2017 & ON1 ReSize (genuine fractals technology) built inside. https://www.on1.com/promo/0617-photo2017/
* NOTE: if you download the free ON1 Effects 10.5 first and create a user name & account ... you are considered a repeat customer and will qualify for the upgrade price for ON1 Photo RAW 2017.5. https://www.on1.com/products/effects10/

ON1 Photo RAW also has lots of tutorials & free presets available.
