Batch-printing many PDF-files

Question

Hi,
In our workflow we have hundreds of PDf-files in many different subfolders we need to print on a monthly basis. We COULD print them manually... but that would be expensive, time-wise. So I figured I would make an action in Acrobat Pro X that would do the trick.
And it works... except for one thing - the "Add folders" adds ALL supported files in the sub-folders, which makes it a bit useless for our purposes. I can't see any way to sort by filetype or any way to tell it to only add specific extensions.
Is there any easy way to do this? I'm open to scripting - perhaps Illustrator might be better for this purpose?

Answer 1

I do this daily...If you have Adobe 9 or older the process is alot eaiser for some reason Adobe made this feature more difficult, y? i don't know but here you go...
Acrobat X
Acrobat X replaces "Sequences" with "Actions", and unfortunately doesn't include a built-in "Print All" Action. So you will need to create one.
1. Choose File > Action Wizard > Create New Action
2. Fill in the "Create New Action" dialog box as shown below.
3. Click the Save button.
4. Give the Action a name, such as "Print" and click the Save button.
5. Now each time you want to batch print PDF files with Acrobat X, just File > Action Wizard > Print, and follow the on-screen prompts.
