Print without opening document

So I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but I've tried doing a quick search and couldn't find anything. I would like to be able to print documents from Word, to jpg images without actually opening them to save time opening and closing them. Example in windows (although I can't stand) I'm able to right click and choose print from the drop down. How do I do that with Leopard, I have yet to figure that out.

The printer proxies (or desktop printers) are also able to handle certain file types without opening the application. File types for some applications, such as TextEdit and Preview, are able to be printed without having the application launch. Other applications open and don't put up the print dialog, or open and do put up the print dialog. It depends on the file type and how the application responds to the request to print the document.
Hope this helps.

How do i print all open documents

is there any way to print all open documents?

Oh, and if you want to use one of your print presets, do it like this:
app.documents.everyItem().print(false,
app.printerPresets.itemByName("myFabPreset"));

Print without opening the file (using two Adobe versions)

I used this a lot but recently it's not working. Right click on the file, hit Print from the drop down and the file magiclly prints. (this magic saves a lot of time)
Now, when I right click and hit print I get a "Open With" dialog box, forcing me to open the file and then print.
I have Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Pro and also Adobe Reader 9.1 installed. I have reader because many websites require 8.0 or higher for pdf browser viewing. I am guessing the problem is somewhere in the file type association but don't know how to fix it.
It used to work for me but after some update it's not workinig no more
Thanks for your help!!!

If you have a postscript printer or rip which has the ability to create hot folders to link to the printer queues you could simply drag-n-drop and PDL (page description language) file like PDF, PS, EPS to that hot folder to initiate printing. Again, very dependent on your printer/rip device.

I installed Adobe Reader X and i can't print PDF's without opening Reader first

Hi, i am using windows XP and i just installed Adobe Reader X onto a workstation within' my office. I use to have Adobe Reader 9 where i could just open a folder with my PDF's. For example, My Documents folder and right click on the PDF i want to print, without opening the file in Adobe Reader first and then clicking print. With Adobe Reader X, i can't do the right click option and print because nothing happens.
Is they an option in Adobe Reader X i need to turn on or off, to get the function of printing by right clicking on the PDF file without opening Reader X to print please ?

Is it happening all the times or happened just in the starting when you hadn't accepted EULA?
Is it still happening after accepting EULA?
Also, can you please tell what printer exactly are you using?

Action to print a file without opening it

Hi. I'm using Action Script 2. I'm creating a CD ROM that
launches external files such as PDF's, PowerPoint and Word
Documents. My client has asked that when a user clicks on an icon
to launch a file, that a dialogue appears for the user to either
open the file or just print without opening. Is there a script out
there to tell the flash player to communicate with the file and
instruct it print, without opening?
Any help on this greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Printing pdf files in a browser (e.g. Firefox) without opening the file

I have a web application, which is generating pdf files. Is it possible to print a pdf file on the default printer without opening the pdf file?
I want to click on the link of a pdf file and the file should be printed immediately on the default printer.

I do not think this is a feature of the browser. In Firefox I can set that a PDF file is opened using a PDF viewer. At this point I would specify the Adobe reader. Instead of opening the PDF file this file should be printed immediately.
So my question is: Is it possible to configure the Adobe reader that the PDF file is printed immediately?

Acrobat 10 - Where's the print all open docs function?

In Acrobat 9 I was able to go to Advance->Batch Sequences->Print All
Then all of the documents that were opened would be printed, and if you wanted to it could Print All without saving. This was a very useful feature that I no longer have access to. I have to confirm every document I wanted printed and I don't see an option to print all opened documents.
Am I missing something?

Batch processing has been removed from Acrobat X - instead there are Actions.
While it's possible to replicate the "print all open files" sequence to some extent, the interactivity of Actions is different, so it can't work seamlessly. For that reason it isn't in the default set of actions shipped with Acrobat X.

Printing a document without opening it in Oracle Forms 10g

Hi Friends,
This is my first thread in this forum. Please any one give me a solution for my below request.
We use oracle 10g and windows (any version). I want to print some files available in a folder without opening it (run in background) through oracle forms.
My requirement is:
A folder contains 10 files of word and excels documents. The client machine user (for example 3 clients’ machines who has different default printer configuration) has to trigger the print command to print the documents.
* I have found Article "Java Bean to print a file to Local Printer" (http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/article-6621538.html). I do think it will help.
* I have found a windows command prompt print concept.
PRINT mytext.txt /D:LPT2
Prints a text file.
PRINT [D:device] [[drive:][path]filename[...]]
/D:device specifies a print device.
* The command prompt print syntax is used with webutil function as given below.
CLIENT_HOST('cmd PRINT mytext.txt /D:LPT2);
1) is the web util syntax only enough for this requirement?
2) In this how to find the default printers in each client machines and use in the place of syntax?
3) Or any other ways available for this requirement.
I look forward solution for this question....!

Hi Jeshra,
Another option would be to find or write a Windows PowerShell script to print any file and then call that from CLIENT_HOST. Many file types, including Microsoft Office files, have a print operation registered with Windows so you can right-click on them in Windows Explorer and choose "Print." You should be able to exploit this ability with PowerShell.
A quick Google search revealed this potential PowerShell solution:
http://powershell.com/cs/blogs/karl-prosser/archive/2009/02/10/print_2D00_file_2D00_function.aspx
PowerShell is installed by default only on Windows 7 so you would have to install it on older Windows clients.
Hope that helps,
Brian

Print PDF from web without opening A.R.

Hi, I'm looking for a way to print PDF documents (generated in Crystal Reports 11 on a IIS web server in PDF / ASP.NET Framework 2.0) on client's machines and printers (without opening an Acrobat Reader, but with print options dialog).
Is it possible to make this issue using Adobe Acrobat SDK?

For security reasons (eg. so that malicious web servers can't just start your printer a printing...), it is IMPOSSIBLE for the document to NOT show...
Any document that is on the web can be saved on the client's machine - that's the beauty (or not?) of the web and the protocols involved. If you wish to prevent misuse - be sure to use DRM.

When I try to print something, my "documents library opens which creates a printing "error" .

I have downloaded and installed the HP Drivers for my new windows 7 lap top in the windows programs and in the Mozilla program (fire fox). I can print without any problem from any of the windows programs but not from fir fox. As soon as I click on "print" in fire fox, my "Documents Library" page opens and a message comes up saying, "Unknown Printing error occurred while printing" and no printing occurs.

Is your printer selected in Firefox? <br />
Sounds like you may have a '''Print to file''' or other software printer selected in the '''Printer''' > '''Name''' box.

Print date in PDF without opening Acrobat

I have a little issue that needs assistance.
Is it possible to get print date (e.g. todays date) automatically without opening the PDF in Acrobat. My plans are to use a hot folder / drop folder which directs the PDF to the printer. The form or script must be applicable anywhere on the layout. I'm working with quite heavy files for commercial printing, and nowadays spends lots of time just waiting for the file to load, add todays date into a form field, print and close the document. The time gained would be massive! I've tried some small scripts but none seems to work out for me.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the input Geo. I think I've got it working now. I actually found a script on Adobeforum, so apologies for making a post. Regarding what you've written in your reply, it's actually possible to print a PDF without opening the application. I'm using a folder which is automatically scanned for files (must be PDF, PS or EPS). This is really good, I'm quite sure that you have the function in the new Distiller as well.

On Startup: Open Document, Export as PDF (Print), Close

I'm a software developer but I've rarely worked in JavaScript-like languages. I have a simple task I'd like to automate. The task will run infrequently -- maybe a dozen times on a busy day -- so performance isn't a priority.
My application generates a customizable 8"x5" label which is attached to large tanks. Sometimes users want smaller versions of the label, 8-up on 8.5"x11" stock. Our graphics department has an InDesign document that works perfectly. The document uses the Place command to place my label PDFs eight times in exact locations. InDesign automatically crops to the visible boundary, so all I have to do is replace my PDF with a new one.
I saved the graphic department's document as .idml which I edited to make the PDF paths relative rather than absolute. InDesign automatically regenerates the page when it opens the document.
Now I want to use InDesign to automate this task. The server version would be serious overkill; all I need is a script that will run when the document opens on startup. The script has to export the document as PDF (for print) to a fixed filename, then close InDesign.
An alternative would be to leave InDesign open, but I'd have to figure out how to send it an instruction to open the document, export it as PDF, then close the document.
I think the first technique can be done with just a couple of lines of JS. Any sample code showing how to do it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Andy

Here's a list of the actions the simplest script would have to implement:
Run script on document open. Wait for PDF import to complete.
File / Export...
Save as type: Adobe PDF (Print)
Enter file name
Click "Save"
Exit InDesign without saving document.
The more complicated version would leave InDesign running between documents, using these actions:
Open document
Wait for PDF import to complete.
File / Export...
Save as type: Adobe PDF (Print)
Enter file name
Click "Save"
Close document without saving it.
Thanks again for any guidance,
Andy
