Printing all files in a portfolio

Discovered that, if you select the "List View" layout for a portfolio (running Acrobat 9.1.3 on Snow Leopard), you lose the print dialog box option for printing "All Files". Under the "Grid" layout, the "All Files" print option is restored. Pointed this out to tech support, but wanted to save others the headache.

Sharing a folder does give others access to it, but it does not change the permissions of the files inside. Other users can probably read everything, but they can't modify files that they do not own unless the owner of those files has changed the permissions to allow it, or other steps have been taken to provide additional access such as the use of an Access Control List (ACL).
Apple doesn't include a GUI utility for manipulating ACLs, so your choices are to use a third-party utility such as TinkerTool System (not free) or the Terminal application. The Drop Box folder in your user's Public folder has an ACL entry that gives access to change just about everything on files that are dropped there, so a Terminal example that sets similar permissions for everyone (a particular user group can also be used) would be:
1. copy and paste the folowing into the Terminal window (there is a trailing space):
chmod -R +a "everyone allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,chown,file_inherit,directory_inherit"
2. drag the desired folder into the Terminal window (this copies the path)
3. press return
Note that ACL entries only work on items that have been created in the folder - not moved there - so you should use option drag to make a new copy in the shared folder.

Cannot print all documents in a Portfolio

Using Acrobat 9.1 for Windows the "All documents in portfolio" option in the print dialog (which online help suggests to use) is simply not present. Any idea why this is?
So I have to keep printing all documents individualy which is a pain obviously.
Thanks for any help

I am having the same problem using Adobe Acrobat Pro on Windows XP SP3, but none of the suggestions have worked.
No matter what layout I choose, with no files selected, all files selected, or only a few files selected, the only "Print Range" I get in the print dialog box are the standard choices of All; Current view; Current Page (greyed out); and Pages (greyed out). I simply can not get the choices of "All PDF Files" and/or "Selected PDF Files" to appear under the Print Range.
I have tried:
Selecting and saving the various layouts without previews;
Creating brand new portfolios wihin Professional 9.3.3;
Selecting differenct printer drivers; and
Performing a complete uninstall and reinstall and update to 9.3.3.
No matter what I do, I can not get "All PDF Files" and "Selected PDF Files" under the Print Range to appear.
This problem does not appear on other machines opening the same portfolio (opening the same portfolio on other machines I get the "All PDF Files" and "Selected PDF Files" under the Print Range). It only appears to be a problem on my laptop, which is a big problem as it is my only machine.
Any ideas?

Adobe X doesn't print all files

Hi, I'm using Adobe X, XP Home, everything up to date.
Often I need to open or print more than 1 file at a time.
If I go to the directory, block off any number of pdf files and click on open, not all of the files will open. That was causing problems, but I discovered the trick there is to specify open with Adobe X and then they will all open.
If I block off any number of pdf files and click on print, again, not all of the files will print. Is there an option that allows me to batch print pdf files?
Hoping there is!
Thanks for any help, Tom

I'm guessing its a setting but can't seem to find that particular one. Has anyone ran into this? Any ideas?
While Bridge is not assigned for use over a network your problem seems cache related to me. When in a problem folder go to the menu tools / cache / and choose purge cache for folder and see if this helps you.

InDesign won't print all files in "Book" to PDF

I have 69 .indd files created in CS5 (ver7) that are part of a "book". I have been trying to "print" this book to PDF so I can submit a single PDF to the commercial printer. I do this all the time and have never had problems like this, but this is a new publication.
Here is what happens: I select all the files defined in the book, then click on the "Print the book" icon. After InDesign gathers all the document information, I select my Print Preset, with "Adobe PDF" as the printer, then print. After processing a few moments, I save the file, and InDesign/Acrobat starts processing the PDF. The complete book is 542 pages, but the PDF file pops up as completed with only about 38 pages processed; in the meantime, InDesign/Acrobat is still processing the files, but results in no new PDF file created.
I have rebooted and the problem has persisted.
In addition to this, another problem has cropped up and I wonder if it is somehow related. Parts of a master page (page heading) mysteriously appear on a page defined by another master page. There is no way to delete this unwanted heading, even if I "Override All Master Page Items".
Any help is appreciated.

I would recommend exporting the book to PDF rather than printing to PDF....
Master objects from a different master might be appearing if they are on the other half of a master spread that is applied to the other half of the document spread and they touch that side of the master as well as being on the half not in use. Check the master in questina and be sure that the objec is not crossing the gutter.

PDF portfolio cannot print all pdfs

Hi,
[system: win xp, acrobat 9.3.1]
I cannot make acrobat print all pdfs in a portfolio. The user wants to be able to select multiple pdfs in the list in the portfolio and print - and I would expect Acrobat to be able to do that, but cannot make it work.
To test this issue i produced to pdf in acrobat. Use create new from blank page. no#1 is 1 page no#2 is 2 pages.
In acrobat click combine to single pdf > portfolio. I save my new pdf portfolio to the filesystem.
I open the portfolio and select both pdfs and click print icon. I only see 'All' in print range and NOT 'All pdf files' as other users explain they do
(for example in this post: http://prsync.com/adobe/batch-printing-pdfs-and-other-files-using-acrobat--19267/)
Hope someone knows whats missing and how to solve it??.

Did you follow the instructions on the website you gave in your post? In particular:
You don't have to print all the PDFs in the portfolio. If you click the List View button, you can then CTRL-Click to select just the files you want to print. Then, choose File> Print and Acrobat will only print the selected files

Printing all PDF files in a folder.

is there a way to print all my individual PDF files in one folder without opening each and then printing it before opening the next one. I have 52 PDF files in one folder that I need to print.

Use Automator to create a Service that looks like this:
!http://i.imgur.com/0nTuy.png!
Save it, give it a name like "Print All Files".
Now you can control-click the folder in the Finder and select you new service under Services.
Just a transcript of the screenshot:
Service receives selected folders in Finder
1st action is *Get Folder Contents*
2nd action is *Print Finder Items*; Print to *Default Printer*; under Options select *Show this action when the workflow runs* so you can select your printer.

Print a file it's urgent

i have a set of file in my one directory and from that any one or two file i want to take a print (all file is pdf file) i don't want to open and display file in my frame. i want to that file directly go on print.
any body help me??
thanks in advance

Hi niravpandya,
You've got a problem.
The javax.print API claims to support printing PDFs, but it doesn't:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-mer0322/
Note the last paragraph in the article.
If you're generating your PDF on the fly using Jakarta's FOP, you can switch to PCL and send that to a printer.
You might try using the acrord32 and Runtime.exec() to print, but my understanding is that Adobe doesn't support the command line API and the print command doesn't work in versions 5.0 and greater of Adobe.
Do a search on Advanced Language Topics. I failed to find a solution to this problem. Perhaps you'll do better. - MOD

Print only allows to save as All Files* - will not print .pdf

Had Reader 9, now 10. Received document, saved as .pdf. Attempted to print this .pdf, but when click Print, document needed to be saved again, but was only giving me format as All Files* to save in. Still did not print. Have checked all Printer settings -still won't print. Conflict in 9 and 10? Do I need to somehow reinstall 9 - as that was working?

Vielen Dank -
but why would the advanced tab change as I never had changed that feature in other .pdf s . Is it default with 10?
Usually the printer shows - Print to file, and allows me to change the format, whether as a .docx, .jpeg or .pdf, but that option wasn't available.
Technology is changing too fast for me to catch up and master!!!!

Open and print multiple files from the Finder all at once.

I'm trying to research how to do this. In OS9 you used to be able to hi-lite multiple files (Word files for example) and just hit Command+P. This would automatically open all of the files AND print them.
I can't seem to do this in my OS X. Or can I? I can hi-lite and go to File/Print, but the computer is only opening but not printing.
Any suggestions??
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I don't know how to both "open and print" multiple files in one step. The ⌘O combination of course will open multiple items. The items remain selected so switching back to the "Finder" and dragging multiple icons onto the icon for "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Printer Setup Utility.app" seems to cause them all to be printed to the default printer.
Alternatively, a user's "~/Library/Printers" folder contains printer icons -- I'm not sure what they are exactly, but they represent the printers set up for that account. They function pretty much like the pre-OS X "Desktop Printer" icons so dragging and dropping multiple files onto them should cause them to be printed. It may even be possible to create aliases to them on the "Desktop" to recreate "Desktop Printer" functionality. But again, this won't open the files into their applications.

I can no longer print email from my gmail account. when I select "print all" ling a dialog box opens trying to save file & firefox locks up

I can no longer print email from my gmail account. when I select "print all" link, a dialogue box opens attempting to save as file type .xls. another dialogue box says firefox is preparing file... meanwhile firefox locks up.

Is your printer selected?
Or are you printing to XLS?

My Wireless HP ENVY 4500 All-In-One Printer Has Stopped Printing PDF Files

I installed the subject wirelessly printer about 1 years ago. It works quite well with my iMac OS X10.9.1 desktop and my Win7 laptop PC. But, it recently stopped printing PDF files for no apparent reason, and I get no error messages.
It won't print PDFs from my browsers nor from Adobe Reader (11.0.07) ... but all other document file types print OK from my browsers and Reader.
The only thing that comes close to printing PDFs is that sometimes, when I try to print a PDF page or file from within Adobe Reader, it prints - on a single sheet - 6 tiny duplicate sections of what appears to be the upper right-hand quadrant only of the original PDF document.
Please note that I un-installed and re-installed the printer and its driver twice without success. Also, no amount of printer re-configuring of layout, size, etc. made a difference. I received some previous work-around advice about converting the PDFs to a Word document, and printing that. But this is just not convenient; and besides, the printer is suppose to print PDFs (PDF is my document of choice for basically all my collaborative work). I should also state that I received no help with this problem from the HP ENVY user group forum; so, I guess that means you may be my last resort. And finally, I don't know if this is relevant or not, but I upgraded my iMac from Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) to Mavericks (OS X 10.9) a few months ago - this upgrade was frought with all sorts of teething problems! - and I am now somewhat suspicious that something in the upgrade might have something to do with my current PDF problem.
Could someone please advise me on any Adobe Reader and/or printer re-configs, re-sets or other actions I should try?
Thanks

Correction to initial post: The 6 tiny sections incorrectly printed on a single sheet are actually from the bottom right-hand quadrant of the original PDF page - NOT the upper right-hand quadrant.

How do I print a list of files inside a portfolio?

I have been using Acrobat to make portfolios of pdf's for a short while. I would like to print a list of the files inside the portfolio. tx

A custom JavaScript to write the report:
function ProtfolioContents() {
var bResult = false;
// make sure there are data objects
if (this.dataObjects != null) {
// create report
var rep = new Report();
rep.size = 1.7;
rep.color = color.black;
// title for report
rep.writeText("Summary of files within the PDF portfolio: " + this.documentFileName + "\n");
// what is reported
rep.writeText("Format : [index] [filename] [description] [size] [MIME Type\n\n");
//get the objects
var d = this.dataObjects;
rep.indent(20);
rep.color = color.blue;
// for each item
for (var i = 0; i < d.length; i++)
// write line of report
rep.writeText(i + ": " + d[i].name + " : " + d[i].description + ' | ' + util.printf("%,0 .0f bytes", d[i].size) + ' | ' + d[i].MIMEType )
// end of report detail
rep.color = color.black;rep.
writeText("\n -- END OF LIST --");
// open the report
var docRep = rep.open("members_of_" + this.documentFileName);
bResult = true;
} // end for loop of dataObjects of portfolio
} // end PortfolioContents
if( ! ProtfolioContents() ) app.alert('Must not be in PDF');

HP 7780 All in One Printer will not print PDF files!!!

I have an HP 7780 All in One printer setup as a network printer. It will copy, scan, and print everything except PDF files. Why will it not print PDF files? You send a PDF file to print. The printer spins up like its about to start printing and then nothing. No error message or nothing. Nothing even shows up in the print queue as waiting to print.

Happy Monday edam. Green is actually the result of two or more color mixed together. Lets try printing a self test report:
Make sure the All-in-One is on and loaded with unused, plain, white paper.
Press Setup . The Setup Menu appears.
Press the down arrow button to select Tools , and then press OK .
Select Self-test Report , and press OK . The self-test report prints.
Let me know the results of the self test. Are all the colors present on the self test or are you missing specific colors?
Thanks!
