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.

Printing all PDF files in a folder in file name order

When I do a select all and then Print the PDF files selected are printing in a random order. Is there any way to have them print in the order that they appear in the folder (Listed by name)? Thanks

Adobe Reader 9.0. I can go into Windows and open a folder with say 10 PDF files in it and click on Edit and Select All and then right click and click print and they will all print, but, they print out in a different order every time. It would be great if they printed out in name order or the order the are listed in the folder. Thanks

Setting Printer Acrobat XI Default to print all PDF files last page first

Hello,
I have just recently upgraded to Mavericks and also have the Creative Cloud using Acrobat XI Pro. In using Reader 9, whenever I printed a PDF the output would print in reverse order, so all I would have to do is take it from the printer and hand it off; it would be in the correct order. How do I setup Acrobat XI Pro to accomplish the same settings (print in reverse order) on not only 1 PDF, but all PDF files? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Can a print preset be created that would work for all PDF files and not just the one opened? Just trying to find out since no one has answered my question in 2 days and Tech Support wasn't much help.
Thanks,

Get all .pdf file in a folder and do shell script

Hi, I need to convert many pdf to ps using pdf2ps, and I'm try to do this with applescript:
tell application "Finder"
set pdf_folder to (choose folder)
set pdf_path to POSIX path of (item of folder pdf_folder whose name...)
end tell
repeat with k in pdf_path
set kl to ... -- same of k but with extension .ps
do shell script ("pdf2ps "&k&" "&kl)
end repeat
but I don't know how implement that.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

01. The 'tell application "Finder" ... end tell' code block is not required to call 'choose folder'. View the 'Standard Additions' dirctionary.
02. 'choose folder' returns a single alias - if only a single folder is to be selected, or a list of 'alias'es - if 'multiple selection allowed' is set to true.
03. 'pdf2ps' is not part of Apples' UNIX commands installation; and you did not provide a valid URL for others to download the UNIX command.
Code to process only a single selected folder.
-- Code starts here --
try
do shell script ("pdf2ps " & (quoted form of (POSIX path of ((choose folder) as string))))

I followed the FAQ troubleshooting and that didn't help

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Cannot print a pdf off my mac 10.6.x. I can print all other files Epson printer 'Cancelling'

Cannot print any pdf from my mac to Epson printer
I can print all other files except pdf
Using the most updated Adobe Reader XI
Using the latest driver for the printer from Epson
Using a USB cable
Whats up?

I have the same problem, I cannot print ANY PDF file from my Mac running 10.8.5 Mountain Lion and using Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.4 I have verified that all files print properly when printed from within Preview or within Libre office. There is no option in the Mac Adobe reader to reset the installation like there is on Windows. I have also tried deleting reader completely and re-installing and the same behavior.

Using Acrobat 9 and suddenly there is no selected page range in the print box. Only selected PDF files or all PDF files. Am I doing something wrong? I need to print only three pages from the document

There is no selected print page range in the print box. Only selected PDF file and all PDF files. Any suggestions?

Well, I looked for where to delete this but didn't see it.
NEVERMIND; I forced iPhoto to quit and restarted and everything seems fine.
BTW, I did get one thing wrong. When I looked at both iPhoto libraries with FINDER, the active one and the archived one both showed content as far as file size goes.
It was because I was viewing the files through Adobe Bridge that it was showing 0 GB's; for whatever reason.

Acrobat Pro XI Mac won't print a .pdf file, but Apple Preview will print correctly

Hello,
I have Acrobat Pro XI for Mac. recently I've run into pdf files that will show the document on screen ok, show up on print preview screen ok, but when I send it to a printer I either get:
1. no printout... the document passes through the printer queue ok, but nothing comes out (no blank paper, nothing). no data seems to even reach the printer/print server. no error. the print job basically vanishes into thin air like the job was never sent
2. prints out with all the characters of a text substituted with squares (again, no error. just prints squares instead of text)
But when I print the same document using Apple's Preview program on the same machine, the file prints out fine.
I experience this problem with two different Macs, with two different OS versions. Again both machines will print the .pdf file fine using Apple Preview, but not with Acrobat Pro XI.
I've searched for this problem, but no one seems to have this problem. I've tried just printing one page, etc., and no difference (won't print, or print wrong using Acrobat, but prints fine using Preview)
the files are typically sent via e-mail from a vendor, or a web downloaded form (invoice, forms filled out. some are secure, some are not). and these are from multiple sources.
Any ideas what might be the problem, and how to fix this?
system:
Mac Pro (early 2008) and MacBook Pro (mid-2011)
MacOS 10.8.4 and 10.6.8 (multiple computers have this same problem)
Acrobat Pro XI, 11.0.04
printer: HP LaserJet 5MP (yes.. old.. but it works) via HP JetDirect + print server on LAN

I just found this solution on another board, I tried it (I removed the same file listed below) and it worked for me....
Safari won’t save or print PDFs: how to fix
:: Tuesday, January 29th, 2013 @ 5:29:46 am
:: Tags: Computers
If Safari won’t save or print PDFs (but views them without any problems), you probably have an Adobe PDF plug-in installed. In Safari, go to Help->Installed Plug-ins and do a search for “PDF.” If you have anything with “PDF” in it other than “WebKit built-in PDF,” that is probably the culprit.
On my computer, the problem was “AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin”. To remove it, I quit Safari, did a Spotlight search (Command-Option space) for that file name, and then dragged it to the trash. When I restarted Safari, I could print and save PDFs again. You can also manually find the plugins by going to the system “Library” folder (the one at the root of your hard disk, not in your user folder) and looking in the “Internet Plug-Ins” folder.
I’m on OS X 10.8.2, running Safari 6.0.2 (8536.26.17).

Cannot Print Full PDF File at a Time; only Page by Page

We have Adobe Reader 9 installed
It is being run on a Windows XP
User is able to open a pdf file and print to the printer without any problems ONE page at a time. Will not print full document in sequence.
We have several computers and I've not had this problem with all pdf files or from any one certain computer. Would it be the way the pdf file was created?

It could be a memory issue. The page could be too big.

Printing multiple PDF files in Windows 7 at once

When I had Windows XP I could select multiple pdf files in their folder then right click to print. With Windows 7 this option is no longer there. I have searched everywhere for a solution to this problem. I am not sure why Adobe (or Microsoft) took this option away. I have to print 30 to 40 invoices a day. I now currently have to open each individual document, print, close, and move on to the next. This is quite cumbersome. If anyone knows of a way around this I would appreciate the help.
If no solution is available does Abode know of the situation?

your right. I am using Acrobat. didn't even know I had it. I've been bugging the IT guy for Acrobat for a while. I have no idea how long it's been installed. I had just bugged him again last week.
reader is still set as my default. without even realizing it, i've only been using acrobat to combine and print large files.
the only way to combine pdf's in reader is to use Adobe's online service which you have to pay for.
I'm sure there's some third party software out there. I use bluebeam to mark up pdf's. it's free.
don't know if it can be used to print or combine multiple files. never tried.
the method of dragging and dropping pdf files into the printer window does work with reader. (I checked)
As I said, it prints the documents out of order which can be a pain.
I found this discussion because I was searching for a way to get the documents to print in order. Haven't found one......yet.

Printing problems (PDF files-HP Color Laserjet 1518ni: return the printer?

Hi everyone, I recently switched platforms and became a Mac user and had to buy a new
printer because my old HP deskjet is not compatible with my computer. So, I bought an HP
Color Laser printer, supposedly Mac compatible, but every time I try to print a PDF file it only
prints the first page. And then stops printing. I spent hours with the HP customer service, reinstalled
the driver, changed configurations, but it still does the same thing. The customer service representative could not solve the problem. I was wondering if there is any one else who had a similar issue with printing? Is it Mac OS X 10.5.5 that causes the problem? I am about to return the laser printer; it would be so helpful if I got some feedback. If it is a printer issue, then, which printer would you folks recommend that is not too expensive but efficient (I use the printer a lot and need an efficient one) and a printing speed of around 12-20ppm that actually does work with the Mac?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for calling my attention to the Adobe issue. I did try and print a PDF file with Preview and it worked! How was the issue solved with Adobe 7? Maybe Adobe pro7 also similar bug issues; is it to Adobe that I should be reporting this or to Apple?
Thanks again.
It's definitely an Adobe problem. The only solution I ever saw was either to print from Preview or to use later versions of Adobe Reader 8 or any version of Reader 9. I asked Adobe support what the problem was. I never got a reply.
You should know that Preview (and any other application which reads PDFs using Apple's PDF engine) has a problem with displaying Times Roman Italic, and only Times Roman Italic when launched under OS X 10.5.5. All other fonts appear to work normally; at least I haven't found one which has a problem, including other Times Roman font faces, including Times Roman Bold Italic. Preview seems to print properly, but the on-screen display has problems. The same files display properly with apps which don't use Apple's PDF engine, and also with apps which use Apple's PDF engine under versions of the OS earlier than 10.5.5, going back to at least 9.2.1. Apple is aware of the problem.
There seems to be at least two problems with the main PDF engines for OS X, Apple's and Adobe's.

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

Reader 9.3 produces Runtime error for all .pdf files on hard drive and email

Does anyone have a resource that can show me how to eliminate a runtime error with Reader 9.3.1, Windows XP w/ SP3 and IE7. I have recently had all .pdf files located on my hard drive and in emails refuse to open because of this message:
"Runtime Error!
Program C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."
So far, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Reader 9.3 from the website; added update 9.3.1 and tried to reopen files with no success.
My organization sends a ton of .pdf files and it is not good when you can't open them for review and action.

Hi All,
Although I don't normally post in forums, I thought it prudent to lay this matther to rest. I have tested the following solution:
It appears that Adobe Reader likes to check access to each parent folder as well as the actual application data folder. Apparantly there are other programs that also do similar things. As a result if you have your appdata redirected to \\server1\profiles\%username%\appdata adobe reader would first try directly access \\server1\profiles. If the user does not have to Traverse folder permission, this fails. Typically you will need to change your permissions on you profile share from:
-                   Users - Read Attributes (Apply to: This folder, subfolders and files)
-                   Users - Read Extended Attributes (Apply to: This folder, subfolders and files)
-                  Users - Create Folders/Append Data (Apply to: This folder, subfolders and files)
-                   Users - Read Permissions (Apply to: This folder, subfolders and files)
To the share permissions suggested by Microsoft in KB 274443:
-                   Everyone - Create Folder/Append Data (Apply onto: This Folder Only)
-                   Everyone - List Folder/Read Data (Apply onto: This Folder Only)
-                   Everyone - Read Attributes (Apply onto: This Folder Only)
-                   Everyone - Traverse Folder/Execute File (Apply onto: This Folder Only)
Hopefully this helps everyone.

Cannot print a pdf file when the pdf file is opened in another window

Running FF8.0 I cannot print a pdf file when the file is contained in a separate window opened by the appl (not just another tab). Options -> options -> applications all point to Use Adobe Applications in Firefox. I've had this problem in 7.0, 6.0, etc but I believe I was finally able to print these external browser/adobe windows somehow. Printing a pdf file shouldn't be that tough. When I run into this situation, file can be printed from the external window by IE.

Check the document properties (Security) for this file in Adobe Reader; perhaps printing is not allowed?
